Business Wire
Smiths Detection Inc. (SDI), in partnership with Command
Sourcing, Inc., announced the sale of multiple body scanners to
county correctional facilities in Oregon and Indiana this year.
Body scanners have proven to be an efficient and cost-effective
tool to deter the smuggling of contraband into facilities.
Smiths Detection’s B-SCAN is a transmission X-ray people scanner
used by hundreds of facilities around the world to detect concealed
contraband which has been ingested, hidden internally, or carried
beneath clothing. The scanner reduces the need for manual searches
and greatly improves the security screening process with a
comprehensive image. It easily integrates into existing checkpoint
areas to serve as a primary, or secondary screening method.
Shan Hood, President of SDI, said, “B-SCAN gives agencies a
critical tool in their fight against the smuggling of threats such
as weapons and controlled substances. It offers fast and accurate
image scans and reliable, low cost ownership over its lifetime,
making it an accessible option for a wide range of customers.”
Through Smiths Detection’s partner, Command Sourcing, customers
have the option to quickly and efficiently install new B-SCAN
systems and make them fully operational. Mike Anderson, VP of
Business Development at Command Sourcing, said, “Command Sourcing
is proud to work with Smiths Detection at Sheriff’s Offices and
Departments of Corrections (DOC’s) across multiple states to equip
these facilities with the latest body scanners. This technology
keeps correctional facilities safer for both inmates and officers
by efficiently and effectively detecting contraband threats.”
