To ensure the safety of both <br />visitors and staff, all p~ons entering the facility are required to pass.~ <br />through a weapons detector. The existing weapons detector is over 10 years <br />old and as a result is less reliable due to its age and obsolete <br />technology. Staff has determined that a new concealed weapons detector is <br />necessary to ensure that all staff, visitors, attorneys, and inmates are <br />safe when people enter the facility. SecureS can II, manufactured by View <br />Systems, Inc., is the only detector that is harmless to pregnant women and <br />individuals with pacemakers and therefore is a sole source provider of this <br />passi ve walk-through detector. As a result, staff recommends Council <br />approval of the recommended action. To allow for additional training a <br />contingency amount has been included. <br /> <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br /> <br />Funds are available in the Inmate Welfare Fund Machinery & Equipment <br />account (account no. 23-349-6641) <br /> <br />APPROVED AS TO FUNDS AND ACCOUNTS: <br /> <br />(L~~ <br /> <br />Paul Walters <br />Police.
