Corrections · Officer Safety
Protect the Officer.
Disrupt the Contraband.
Metrasens Ultra helps correctional teams detect concealed cell phones, weapons, electronics, and other ferromagnetic contraband from a distance — giving officers more information before a closer secondary search.
Portable contraband detection for safer, more informed correctional screening.
The Officer-Safety Risk
Officer safety begins before the search becomes hands-on.
A concealed item creates uncertainty before an officer knows what it is or where it is located. When a search begins without that information, officers may work at close range, rely on fixed screening points, or start alarm-resolution without precise knowledge of where an item may be.
Better contraband detection isn't only about confiscation counts. It's about giving officers greater awareness before closer contact — and more control over how the encounter unfolds.
Touchless screening can help officers identify a potential issue before initiating the facility's closer alarm-resolution or secondary-search procedure.
Contraband Doesn't Stay at the Entrance
Contraband moves.
Detection should too.
Risk isn't confined to intake. Ultra moves with your operation — supporting intelligence-led, risk-based, and surprise screening rather than relying only on fixed checkpoints.

More information before the search.
01
Screen
Ultra performs touchless ferromagnetic screening as individuals pass through — no wands, no pat-downs required to identify a potential item.
02
Locate the Alert
Five-zone alert location indicates the approximate area of a detected item, from head to toe — including items concealed inside shoes — giving officers precise focus.
03
Follow Protocol
Officers apply the facility's established alarm-resolution procedure — informed, focused, and consistent across shifts.
04
Informed Secondary Search
Any closer contact begins with more information, more distance, and more control than a search that starts blind.
Built for the Reality of the Facility
Distance, precision, and portability — where it matters.
Ultra combines the three capabilities officers need most before a secondary search: room to work, clear information about the alert, and the flexibility to take screening to the risk.
Distance
Screen individuals from a safer distance before an officer needs to make closer contact.
Five-Zone Alert Location
Head-to-toe alert zones — including footwear — focus the response and give officers a clear next step.
Portability
Deploy Ultra where risk moves — housing units, recreation, transport, or targeted searches.
A Layered Approach
Ultra strengthens the tools you already use.
No single tool stops contraband. Ultra adds a fast, touchless, ferromagnetic layer that complements the searches, intelligence, and screening technology already in your program — closing the gaps each one leaves on its own.
