Prison Security
Eliminating Contraband and Protecting Personnel with Gold-Standard Trace Detection for Correctional Environments.
Correctional facilities face a growing crisis as narco-terrorists evolve their chemistry to smuggle potent synthetic drugs like fentanyl and nitazenes through mail and visitation. 1st Detect bridges this security gap by bringing laboratory-grade mass spectrometry to the facility perimeter, mailrooms, and evidence intake centers. Our systems deliver definitive molecular identification of trace residues in seconds, providing the actionable intelligence needed to protect staff from accidental exposure and maintain a drug-free environment. By identifying threats that traditional screening methods miss, 1st Detect strengthens facility safety and supports the legal integrity of contraband interdiction.
Mail & Package Screening
Prevent the smuggling of drugs into prisons by identifying trace residues on envelopes and incoming parcels. 1st Detect provides results in seconds, allowing high-volume mail screening without disrupting facility operations. Our technology adapts to emerging synthetic analogs, ensuring that your long-term investment remains effective even as smuggling tactics change.
Visitation & Entry Points
Maintain a secure facility by screening people and personal items at entry checkpoints. Our field-ready systems detect invisible traces of narcotics and explosives with near-zero false alarms, ensuring that legitimate visitors and staff are processed quickly while threats are intercepted with confidence.
Narcotics Identification
Confirm the presence of illicit substances on-site with forensic-grade accuracy that is courtroom-proven. 1st Detect replaces presumptive guesswork with definitive molecular identification, supporting immediate disciplinary or enforcement actions. This capability provides the defendable evidence required for prosecution and administrative hearings.
Staff & First Responder Safety
The rise of ultra-potent synthetic opioids has made accidental exposure a primary concern for correctional officers. 1st Detect identifies these "invisible" molecular risks at the point of action, allowing personnel to respond appropriately to suspicious materials before exposure occurs. Our systems deliver the speed and certainty needed to protect those on the frontlines of facility security.
