Description:
Binj Laboratories, Inc. has developed a first-of-its-kind wireless or wired integrated Cell Phone Detection / Duress Alarm / Officer and Inmate Tracking System to solve the #1 and #2 security threats in corrections; the unauthorized use of cell phones and violence against inmates and staff. The critical nature, current market void and high, immediate demand for these products has created a $2.7 billion marketplace with a weekly growing wait list of requesting agencies in corrections.
Unauthorized cell phone use; according to the US Department of Justice, the #1 security threat in the criminal justice system is the unauthorized use of cell phones in prison. Illegal cell phones empower gan members, organized crime members, and terrorists to continue their criminal enterprise without detection, interruption or intervention.
Protecting Staff and Inmates; the US Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs (OJP) has authorized millions in grants for research and development for Officer and Inmate Safety. Prime on the list are duress alarm technology and Officer/Inmate Identification and Tracking Systems. Congress recently enacted the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) and the BINJ Labs Duress Alarm and Inmate Tracking Systems directly address these top priority issues.
The Market:- With over 5,400 facilities nationwide, the integrated wireless or wired Cell Phone Detecton and Duress Alarm / Inmate Tracking System initial installations in corrections facilities alone, represent over $2.7 billion marketplace. While BINJ has concentrated on the corrctions marketplace, we are fully aware of the other possible markets for, especially, the use of the tracking system for firefighters and other emergency personnel. In addition, the Cell Phone Detection system will have application in DoD facilities as well as commercial uses in schools and areas where cell phones are not permitted (commercial airlines, etc.).
