Texas Jail Standards will be releasing a grant that will provide the funds for cell check devices and timekeeping systems. With the funds, your jail will be able to receive at least 8 cell check devices with a camera in each and an operating system from Guardian Security Solutions.
The Guard Patrol Check (GPC) is an all-in-one cell check device that eliminates the need of installing and maintaining a separate camera into the cell check reader and the cell check system. The GPC contains a camera, which differs from competitors such as the Pipe. The camera function, which Jail Standards really likes, provides the ability to view live actions and take snapshots which will be stored and logged for an effective timekeeping system.
The grant is for jails, under 100 beds, to add cameras and cell check devices to their facility. Other criteria will be provided upon the release of the award.
The Guard Tour System, an operating system, and Guardian Security installation fees will be covered by the grant provided by Texas Jail Standards. Other fees may apply if additional services are required such as additional cameras.
Bottom line: you get 1 cell check system, 1 two-way intercom at the exterior of the cell door, and 1 full time camera to monitor the hallways all wrapped up in each device.
Lynn County Jail was the first jail in Texas to install the GPC. Lynn County purchased 32 devices and a custom-made server that is designed to run the Guard Patrol Software. When Guardian Security met with Sheriff Abraham Vega and Captain Jim Bingham of Lynn County, they both expressed the need to upgrade safety and security for both jailers and inmates. “The Guard Patrol Check is a safe way for us to keep up with the checks that our jailers do,” said Sheriff Vega. “With the Guard Patrol, we can see who checked it, when they checked it, and with the video, we can verify that is who was doing the actual check at the time.”
Stay ahead of the curve by scheduling a Guard Patrol demo with Guardian Security. Know the ins and outs of the best electronic cell check device prior to the grant being released. Installation will be quicker and easier if you already know the product's features and benefits. Call Guardian toll free: 800-658-2054.
