Purpose

Use of CARE funds to purchase body scanners

Background

Currently, when individuals need to be scanned to enter into the Courthouse or Jail an employee must use a hand wand to scan the individuals, as well as take their temperature which requires extremely close personal contact. .  With the recent events of the COVID-19 pandemic the need to look at innovative and alternative options to reduce the spread COVID-19 and to allow the social distancing.  By purchasing whole body scanners with thermal scanners built in there will be less direct interaction between employees and individuals entering the facilities.
