Longsight Custody Suite is getting a major upgrade with QPS201 security scanners from Rohde & Schwarz, and the goal is straightforward, cut down on strip searches. Longsight is the first custody suite in England to use a security scanner with high-resolution millimeter wave technology. This scanner will boost operational efficiency, strengthen search procedures, and drive ongoing improvements, with a special focus on how women and girls are treated.
The QPS201 serves as an extra screening step to catch detainees who might be hiding weapons, drugs, or other prohibited items. The contactless scan is safe, fast, and built to protect privacy.
Instead of showing images of the person being scanned, the system highlights any potential threat on a standardized digital avatar. Millimeter wave technology detects both metallic and non-metallic objects under clothing, including liquids and powders.
The waves pass through clothing but bounce off skin, and they’re completely harmless to body tissue. The scanner’s automated analysis separates everyday items like buttons or zippers from actual threats.
This targeted approach reduces the need for more intrusive searches, supports detainee dignity, and improves safety for custody staff. By combining advanced detection, automated analysis, and privacy-focused screening, the R&S QPS201 makes custody search procedures more efficient and respectful.
