THE UNIQUE CHALLENGES OF JUVENILE JUSTICE SECURITY

Searching youth admissions presents unique challenges. Traditional strip searches and invasive pat-downs can be highly traumatic and are often counterproductive to the rehabilitative goals of juvenile justice facilities. However, the threat of smuggled narcotics, vaping devices, and concealed weapons remains a critical safety concern.

Tek84's Intercept scanner offers a safe, contactless alternative. By utilizing advanced imaging technology, facilities can rapidly detect internal and external contraband supporting a secure environment while treating young individuals with dignity and respect.

Does the scanner eliminate the need for strip searches?

+

Yes. The Intercept provides a highly accurate, non-invasive alternative to strip searches. Its high-resolution imaging can detect both items hidden under clothing and internally concealed contraband without requiring physical contact.
