BACKGROUND

In an effort to manage the opioid crisis within the jail, the SecurPASS Whole Body Scanner was funded via Resolution 2017-276. Virtual Imaging-a Cannon Company, is the manufacturer and distributor of the scanner. Virtual Imaging has undergone review and approval by the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (the only manufacturer with this distinction) for the SecurPASS Scanner to be installed in the Gaston County Jail. The operator training provided by Virtual Imaging is the only training that has been certified by the Federal Bureau of Prisons, the National Institute of Justice, and the Department of Justice. It is with these merits that make Virtual Imaging the only vendor that can provide a high performing product and service.
