Avoid over-detentions associated with the inability to quickly locate inmate property.  Eliminate the build up of dead (unclaimed) property.  Maintain a complete Audit Trail of who/what/where/when for inmate property.  Print reports and conduct online research to determine the current location of all property (clothing and bulk) and a complete custody history.  The ‘Minimum Recommended Hardware Kit’ provides all of the hardware accessories and consumables for printing bar coded labels and scanning bar coded labels.  Add the ‘Mobility Kit’ to create a truly efficient property room.

As inmates arrive at the inmate reception center, Officers use the ROMS Property Tracking module to print bar coded labels for clothing and property.  These labels are affixed to the clothing bag or property container and scanned with either a desktop scanner or mobile computer.  Each Employee who handles the property is recorded.  This provides a complete custody trail for all property. 

Once these items arrive at a storage area, a location bar code is scanned.  The bar coded location labels may be created from within ROMS.  Property can then be quickly and easy located at any time by querying via the desktop module.  Inmate Property and Clothing Tracking in County facilities helps to avoid over-detentions associated with the inability to locate property by the scheduled release time.  This module can also be used to eliminate the build up of dead (unclaimed) property.  A Property Worker can use a mobile computer to scan the bar code on the property.  An indicator on the screen will tell them whether the Inmate is still in custody or not.

Photos of property may be captured using a standard web cam or camcorder from within the desktop module.  In many cases, this eliminates the need for an extensive ‘contents inventory’.
