Each time an inmate is in contact with Department personnel, the inmate is pat-searched. A full body scanner detects concealed narcotics and weapons; can detect substances if they are concealed under clothes, in body cavities, or in prosthetic devices. Its capabilities are much wider than a physical search by a detention officer and will ensure the safety and security of officers, inmates, the facility, and the public. The Police Department and Purchasing recommend authorizing the purchase using the OMNIA Partners/Port of Portland cooperative contract with Safeware, Inc., for $188,000. This purchase is funded by American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Grant Funds.Mon, 06 Feb 2023 17:26:52 GMT
