Hear what our distributors have to say
At OD Security we believe strong partnerships are the foundation of safer facilities worldwide. Our distributors are more than resellers: they are trusted advisors for prisons, border control and other high-security environments, helping clients choose, implement and maintain our scanners with confidence.
“Since implementing the SOTER RS about six months ago, the technology has assisted in at least five contraband recoveries. Colonel Lawrence Catletti said, ” The scanners have already proven their value, and we are confident they will continue to create a safer environment for all who enter our facility.”
“In the last few weeks, Corrections Officers have made two significant contraband findings on two inmates entering Orange County Jail. One positive body scan resulted in the recovery of a ceramic knife. A second positive body scan resulted in the recovery of a significant amount of other contraband, with the initial reported listing of 9.3 grams of cocaine, (24) 15mg oxycodone pills, 5.6 grams of buprenorphine, 10.2 grams of marijuana, two functional lighters, two bundles of rolling paper. Additional positive body scans have resulted in the finding of marijuana and fentanyl.”
“Sheriff Arteta added, “Just thinking about the dangers posed by these items in our facility is terrifying. Intercepting these dangerous drugs and weapons potentially saved many lives: the lives of those we are entrusted to protect each day while they are incarcerated and the lives of our staff, who work hard to create a safe environment for everyone”
Licking County Justice Center – USA 2024
“We really feel like the Licking County Justice Center took initiative and got in front of the problem,” Barbuto said. “This is the best known way to detect contraband coming in.” “The jail has not had any reported overdoses believed to be caused by drugs brought into the facility as contraband since the scanner began being used.” “In one instance, the scanner detected a mint tin containing illegal drugs that was underneath a skin fold on an inmate’s body that had been missed by corrections officers during a pat down search.” “The use of the body scanner has ultimately resulted in less contraband particularly drugs being brought into the facility.” “Hidden or secret compartments in clothing have been found with the body scanner as well, he said. And while drugs are the most common contraband, other things have been discovered.”

John
Shannon, President of OD Security North America remarks: “The SOTER RS is built to address real-world challenges faced
by Sheriff’s Offices and to enhance day-to-day operational safety.”
Jail administrator Curt Cooper said: “A lot of times you may not feel
it, or they might have inside, they might swallow it or something and you can’t
find that on a strip search or pat search.”
At OD Security we design our scanners for the people who use them every day: correctional officers, security staff and operators in high-security environments. They need systems that are safe, clear to read and easy to work with during busy shifts. Here you will find the experiences shared by our end users.
President John Shannon commented “We are delighted to have been selected by the TDCJ as their contraband detection partner and look forward to working with them. As one of the largest Corrections Agencies in the US, we are delighted to have been selected following a detailed evaluation process against Linev/Adani, Tek84, and STVS/Nutech. I hope it is a serious endorsement of our solution for any other Agency considering adding this technology.”https://www.odsecurityna.com/blog/latest-news/
Rancagua Penitentiary Complex – Chile 2024
After the inauguration, the Minister of Justice and Human Rights, Hernán Larraín, pointed out that “This tool is extremely effective in detecting prohibited elements, increasing security inside prisons, since it allows a thorough body search to be carried out on all persons who enter the premises, whether they are officials, lawyers or family visits, but without giving an invasive treatment in the inspection procedure, eliminating manual inspection and thus guaranteeing the integrity of the people.” https://www.sourcesecurity.com/news/odsecurity-soter-rs-250-full-body-co-1967-ga.1612766452.html
The national director of the Gendarmerie, Christian Alveal, added that “It is very relevant to have this type of technology inside the penal units, as it improves and optimises internal processes, where detection capacity contributes to guarantee comprehensive security of the enclosure. In addition, it allows a non-invasive treatment in the inspection process, guaranteeing the integrity and dignity of the people who visit those deprived of liberty.”
Customs and Border Control – Cayman Islands 2024
Border Control Minister Dwayne Seymour described the scanner as a “monumental leap forward” in the effort to maintain high standards of border security.

What do our customers in the USA say?
‘’The advanced screening system strengthens the Agency’s commitment to
safety, security, and operational efficiency’’
“The difference is, the new one has AI. So, the original body scanner
that we currently have, with the turnover rate that we have with officers, it’s
extremely difficult to get someone up to speed on what they’re looking at on
the human anatomy and in the body,” Gelbaugh said. “We do find stuff. We have
found stuff. It’s also a deterrent just because folks know that it’s there.”
“Sheriff Edwards stated that he is “encouraged by what this scanner can
do for the safety of our staff, our inmates, and our community.”
What do our clients say in the rest of the world?

“The use of the body scanner has ultimately resulted in less contraband.”
