The Prevention Stack

THE FRAMEWORK

Preventing in-custody harm is not a single control; it is a stack of them. Each layer catches what the one before it missed, and a gap anywhere lets an incident through.

01

Screening

Risk is identified at intake, medical, mental-health, suicide, detox, before it reaches a cell. VPT's free JANUS™ tool supports this layer.

02

Continuous observation

The facility is watched continuously, not just recorded, so developing risk can be seen at all.

03

Early detection

The behaviors that precede a crisis are flagged as they start, not discovered afterward.

04

Fast response

The right officer is reached with context, and acts, closing the gap between onset and intervention.

05

Documentation & proof

Every event and response is captured, timestamped, and reviewable, defensible evidence.

06

Governance

Performance is measured and sustained through the Safety Intelligence Score and Gold Seal™.

Screening and staffing are strong in most facilities; the middle of the stack, continuous observation, detection, and fast response, is where the gaps are. That is exactly where Virtual Patrol™ strengthens the stack, on existing cameras.
