Dependable Mobility Products that Reduce Response Time and Improve Staff Security

According to reports from the Bureau of Justice Statistics, inmate assaults against correctional staff increased to 58,3000 in the late 90’s. More recent data suggests an even higher growth rate in violence due to prison overcrowding. Correctional officers identify the threat of violence as the primary source of workplace stress.

Reducing stress is a priority to administrators who seek to improve staff performance and increase safety. For corrections officers and staff who face the threat of violence daily, the peace of mind provided by a comprehensive personal security system can enhance morale and improve job performance. Improving the level of personal safety for correctional staff is clearly the number one underlying challenge for this industry, and the Ascom TelePROTECT offers a simple, effective solution to that challenge.

If you find yourself in a vulnerable or threatening situation, you can quickly send an alarm signal via TelePROTECT and know that somebody has received it. When you need to call for help, you press a button on a pocket unit to transmit a radio-based alarm signal. A central unit receives your alarm signal that then, depending on how your system is configured, automatically alerts your colleagues and/or activates relevant alarm procedures. In other words, Ascom TELEPROTECT unifies your workforce by allowing your staff to deliver time-critical messages or send a call for help if threatened or injured – all from easy-to-use portable devices. Whether you work in manufacturing, security, healthcare, or service, your business communications function more effectively when the right information gets into the right hands at the right time.
