The Sharp County Sheriff’s Office is pleased to announce the installation of a new state-of-the-art body scanner at the Sharp County Detention Center. This advanced technology represents a critical step forward and is a vital investment in ensuring the safety and security of the detention center, its staff, and inmates.
The body scanner, now fully operational, enhances the detection of contraband such as weapons, drugs, and other prohibited items that could pose a threat within the facility. By providing a comprehensive screening process, this new technology improves safety protocols while reducing the need for invasive searches during the intake process.
The body scanner is part of the Sheriff’s Office’s ongoing commitment to modernizing operations and adopting innovative solutions to better serve the community. The technology provides an efficient, non-invasive way to screen individuals entering the facility, significantly reducing the risk of contraband-related incidents.
The body scanner not only helps us maintain control within the facility but also ensures that our staff and inmates are protected from potential harm caused by contraband. I want to express gratitude to Sharp County Judge Mark Counts and Sharp County Quorum Court for recognizing the importance of this upgrade and making it a reality.”
