Stanislaus County Sheriff's Office Operational Readiness in Action
We were not able to effectively store, retrieve and process 300 pieces of property and clothing for the inmate population until we got Montel. — Deputy Chris Williams,
Stanislaus County Sheriff's Office
Processing an average of 40 inmate bookings every 12-hour shift, the Stanislaus County Sheriff's Office needed a smarter way to organize inmate property, records, and operational materials while making better use of its available space. Montel designed a customized high-density storage solution that improved organization, streamlined daily workflows, reduced lost property claims, and provided staff with fast, reliable access to the materials they use every day. Reduced lost property claims Faster retrieval and processing Increased storage capacity Built for years of continuous daily use 22
...all of a sudden we didn't have as many lost claims, property and clothing was properly stored, and what we really gained was time.
Storage units have to be durable. They have to take day-in and day-out usage for years... a heavygauge product that is solidly built was mandatory for us.
