THE UNIQUE CHALLENGES OF COUNTY JAIL INTAKE

Unlike long-term state prisons, county jails deal with highly transient populations. The constant cycle of booking new arrestees, processing court returns, and managing work-release inmates requires a security solution that is both incredibly accurate and exceptionally fast. Traditional pat-downs are invasive, slow, and frequently miss internally concealed contraband like narcotics or small weapons.

A single weapon or drug bindle entering the general population can lead to severe safety incidents and liabilities for the Sheriff's Office. Tek84 provides high-throughput, precision x-ray scanning that helps operators identify concealed threats and supports safer environments for deputies and staff.

COUNTY JAIL SCREENING FAQS

Click any question below to expand the answer

Will the Intercept fit in our small booking area?

+

Yes. The Intercept has an exceptionally compact footprint (34" x 72") and does not require a large exclusion zone, making it ideal for county jails and local detention centers with limited space in their intake areas.

Can it detect fentanyl or other small narcotics?

+

Yes. The high-resolution imaging provided by the Intercept allows deputies to identify dense anomalies, including small drug bindles, pills, and powders—whether they are hidden in clothing or swallowed/internally concealed.

Will scanning slow down our intake process?

+

No. In fact, it typically speeds it up. A full-body scan takes as little as 3.8 seconds. This is significantly faster and far more thorough than manual pat-downs or strip searches.

Does the system integrate with our Jail Management System (JMS)?

+

Yes. Through the TekNet centralized data management platform, the Intercept can integrate with many standard Jail Management Systems, automating record-keeping and reducing manual data entry for your deputies.
