Staff duress alert with proactive CCTV — security sees identity, location, and live camera feed
Corrections-Specific Applications
Staff Duress & Mobile Panic
Correctional officers face some of the highest workplace violence rates in the country. PanicALERT provides instant staff duress and wireless panic alerting that works anywhere in the facility and across outdoor yard areas. When an officer presses their mobile duress button, security dispatch instantly sees the officer’s identity, photo, and precise location on AutoCAD floor plans with automatic proactive CCTV activation that follows the officer’s movement.
Inmate Tracking & Elopement Prevention
Track inmate movement throughout the facility in real time. Co-location alerts notify staff when specific inmates enter the same zone — critical for preventing violent encounters. Elopement prevention features automatically trigger lockdown protocols when an inmate approaches restricted perimeter zones. Integration with access control and elevator control systems provides layered security.
Muster Station & Emergency Accountability
During emergencies, evacuations, or lockdowns, SecurTRAK’s muster station capability provides instant accountability of all staff and inmates. Know exactly who is where in seconds rather than the minutes or hours manual counts require.
Asset Tracking
Real-time asset tracking for critical corrections equipment including radios, keys, restraints, medical equipment, and tools. Tamper alerts prevent equipment from leaving secured areas.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does RTLS work in correctional facilities?
RTLS tags worn by inmates and staff transmit 433 MHz signals to receivers throughout the facility. The 433 MHz frequency penetrates the reinforced concrete and steel construction typical of corrections environments. Infrared readers identify specific housing areas and common rooms, while LF exciters at zone transitions track authorized and unauthorized movement.
Can RTLS replace manual inmate headcounts?
RTLS provides continuous real-time location data that automates muster reports, significantly reducing the time officers spend on manual headcounts. The system tracks every tagged individual’s location and alerts staff immediately when someone enters a restricted area or deviates from an approved schedule.
Does the system work during facility lockdowns?
Yes. SecurTRAK operates on a standalone dedicated network completely independent of the facility’s IT infrastructure and internet connection. During lockdowns, network outages, or cybersecurity events, the system continues tracking and alerting without interruption.
How does staff duress work in corrections?
Officers wear PanicALERT badges with a concealed duress button. One press transmits the officer’s identity and exact location — which building, which floor, which room — to the central monitoring station within 5 seconds. The 433 MHz signal penetrates the concrete and steel barriers that block Wi-Fi and BLE signals in these facilities.
