Body Scanner Ensures Safety

It took three years for the Franklin County Jail to get a full-body scanner and only a couple of weeks before the purchase proved its worth.

Earlier this month, deputies began using the Soter RS full-body scanner to screen incoming inmates for contraband hidden on and or inside their bodies.

Sheriff Steve Pelton said the machine, which cost $127,455, already has helped catch one person trying to bring drugs into the jail.

Last year, the jail had five overdose cases from contraband smuggled into the jail. Pelton said the scanner, which is used on everyone who is staying in the jail, should help prevent those emergencies. He said in many cases when contraband is detected, the suspect will admit they are carrying something illegal and that helps deputies in establishing probable cause.

“We researched Body Scanners for some time before we decided on OD Security North America and their SOTER RS. Their reputation for customer service was a huge selling point as well as the ease of use of the scanner. Once installed, came the training. The training offered was very thorough and easy to understand. Since the installation of this scanner, I am in no doubt that we have created a much safer environment for Staff and Inmates.”
