How Inmate Property Pick-Up Lockers Work
The inmate property pick-up lockers have cutting-edge software that supports two workflow processes. Officers can deposit inmate property for short-term storage to be retrieved by the offender upon release. If the inmate is detained long-term, officers can deposit the belongings for retrieval by the inmate’s friends or relatives. See budget pricing and Revit downloads.
The smart locker system works in tandem with a web app that tracks locker transactions, notifies family members of property release, and manages the chain of custody.
How to Deposit Inmate Property for Short-Term Storage
Storing inmate property for temporary custody is simple and requires only an incident number. To deposit inmate property, the officer follows this process:
- Scan authentication badge at the locker console.
- Enter the incident number on the touchscreen.
- Select an appropriate locker size.
- Deposit the items in the assigned locker.
The incident number will be automatically tracked in the app once the property is deposited. Upon release, the offender can retrieve their belongings by entering the same incident number. You can check out more of our inmate property storage solutions here.
How to Deposit Inmate Property for Pickup
When an offender transfers to a long-term facility, an officer can deposit inmate property in the smart lockers for pickup by family members via this process:
- Add a new inmate to the app along with the specified relative’s name and contact information.
- Scan authentication badge at the locker console.
- Select the offender’s name on the touchscreen.
- Select an appropriate locker size.
- Deposit the items in the assigned locker.
How to Pick Up an Inmate’s Belongings
Once an officer deposits an inmate’s property in a locker for pickup, the app automatically generates a unique PIN and QR code for the locker. It notifies the specified family member via text, email, and the mobile app.
The family member can retrieve the belongings from the 24/7 lockers at any time using the PIN, QR code, or app to access the locker.
Benefits of Inmate Property Pick-Up Lockers
Increased Efficiency
Increased EfficiencySmart lockers make the inmate property pick-up process quick and easy for both officers and recipients. Officers can deposit property within minutes, eliminating the time it may have taken them to transport belongings to and from off-site storage facilities. The lockers also come in customizable configurations with a combination of different compartment sizes, facilitating the most efficient storage of items of various sizes.
Personnel are no longer responsible for notifying family members and supervising property retrieval, freeing up their valuable time. Recipients can quickly and easily retrieve property at their leisure. And with outdoor lockers, those picking up inmate property don’t even have to enter the facility. Smart lockers make the entire process, from deposit to pickup, streamlined and efficient.
Secure Storage
Smart pick-up lockers provide secure on-site storage for inmate property until its release. With unique PIN codes for each transaction, the stored property is kept secure until retrieval by the designated recipient. And the software’s automatic tracking provides visibility for the complete chain of custody. Using the desktop app, officers can view transactions in real-time, track the location of each stored item, and retrieve PIN codes to access the locker doors if needed.
Convenient Retrieval
Smart lockers enable 24/7 property release. Since officer supervision is no longer necessary, friends or relatives can pick up property at their convenience, particularly if the lockers are located outside the facility. With access through a PIN or QR code sent automatically to their phones, recipients can retrieve property almost effortlessly.
