SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
On November 14, 2024, the Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) approved the recommendation that additional funding in the amount of $37,685 from the AB109-2011 Public Safety Realignment account be provided to the Sheriff’s Office for funding the one-time purchase of two (2) Metrasens Ultra portable contraband detectors.
The Jail is constantly combating the issue of contraband being smuggled into the facility and then the movement of contraband through the facility. In attempt to make the facility safer for the incarcerated population and the staff, the Sheriff’s Office will be purchasing these two non-invasive, touchless contraband detectors. These portable units are capable of finding items on the person that need to be found, from weapons to small recording devices, with precise location identification. Each unit is versatile and able to be deployed indoors or outdoors. The purchase price of the units includes on-site training for staff and a 1-year service contract by the vendor.
This item is agendized for discussion at the January 29, 2025 Budget Committee meeting.
