San Joaquin County Enhances Corrections Safety with
Real-Time Monitoring
"The Guard1 SUPERMAX aligned with our goals as a department. Gaining Real Time returns from safety checks was a tool we couldn't pass up."
- San Joaquin County Corrections Department
The Challenge: Limited Functionality with Legacy System
San Joaquin County needed a more efficient way to conduct and verify safety/welfare checks across their facilities. With an average daily population of 1,300 inmates and a capacity of 1,451, ensuring timely and thorough safety checks was crucial but challenging with traditional methods. They needed a solution that would allow real-time monitoring and eliminate patterns in safety checks that could compromise security.
The Outcome: Real-Time Monitoring with Comprehensive Documentation
With Guard1, San Joaquin County can now accurately track that safety and welfare checks are being completed on time and thoroughly. They use both the Pipe and SUPERMAX devices to monitor checks across various units, including intake areas, barracks, and specialized cells (safety/sobering/holding/observation). The system allows them to verify officer timeliness, identify patterns in check routines, and generate comprehensive reports for inspections and incidents.

"I highly recommend the Guard1 product. It enables your department to accurately track essential checks by the officers. However, for the SUPERMAX to perform at its peak capabilities, your department must have quality Wi-Fi installed."
