Supporting the effort to safeguard our facilities and protect staff and residents from dangerous contraband, on August 1, 2024, the Missouri Department of Corrections will begin using body scanners for staff, visitors, vendors, contractors and volunteers entering adult institutions.
The Intercept full-body scanner will be used in conjunction with walk-through metal detectors, hand-held metal detectors and X-ray baggage scanners to keep out weapons, drugs and other prohibited items that may compromise safety and security.
