Frequently asked questions

Hardware & Compatibility

Is the system rugged enough for a high-traffic jail environment?

Yes. The system is housed in a UL-Certified ruggedized cabinet specifically designed for the intake and release areas of correctional facilities. It features a fixed-mount capability and an integrated UPS to protect against power surges or accidental unplugs.

Does the scanner support both fingerprints and palm prints?

Absolutely. The surface-mounted 5”x5” scanner is FBI IQS Appendix F certified and supports plain, rolled, and full palm impression captures.

What are the minimum power and network requirements?

While our Solutions Architect will conduct a site survey to provide specific documentation, the system generally requires standard power and a network drop. Our team handles the integration, but the facility is responsible for providing the physical outlets and network ports.

Compliance & Software

Is the software certified for use in Illinois?

Yes. Our CLEW live scan software is both FBI and Illinois State certified. It is specifically configured to handle both applicant and arrest workflows to ensure full interoperability with Illinois State Police standards.

Can we integrate this with our existing Record Management System (RMS)?

Yes. Our system is designed for "turnkey" integration. During the project kickoff, our Solutions Architect and developers will work with your team to define technical details, interfaces, and any necessary customizations for your specific workflow.

Deployment & Training

How long does a typical installation take?

The end-to-end process—from procurement and staging to onsite installation—typically takes between 60 to 90 days. This timeline accounts for site surveys, hardware procurement, and offsite testing to ensure that when we arrive onsite, disruption is kept to a minimum.

What kind of training is provided for our officers?

We offer a flexible training methodology including traditional classroom settings, "train-the-trainer" sessions, and online Zoom sessions. Most users are proficient within 2 hours. We also provide a comprehensive user guide and a library of instructional videos for ongoing reference.

Support & Maintenance

What happens if the system goes down in the middle of the night?

We offer an optional 24/7 support agreement. For critical issues, we guarantee a response time of 6 to 8 hours during holidays and weekends, and a 5-hour response time during prime working hours (7 am – 7 pm PST).

How is technical support handled?

Support can be initiated via phone or email. To expedite resolution, we use secure VPN remote access to ascertain the system status and troubleshoot software issues immediately without needing to wait for an onsite technician.
