Press Release: September 24, 2025
Sheriff Bobby J. Guidroz is pleased to
report, “In an effort to combat the
introduction of contraband being
brought into the St. Landry Parish Jail,
we have implemented the Linev System
Clearpass Digital Full Body Security
Scanner.”
“The Linev scanner will be used in an
effort to deter and prevent the
introduction of contraband into the jail.
The security scanner detects metallic
and non-metallic contraband hidden
both on a person and/or inside the body
of a person entering the Correctional
Center. The system is another tool to
facilitate searches and is not intended to
eliminate or replace current search
procedures.”
“Eight instructor trainers at the jail
underwent certification by the company to train the entire staff of the jail on its use and to
operate the body scanner in a safe and lawful manner to detect the presence of dangerous
contraband and weapons in the possession of anyone entering the facility. The scanner will not
only be used for persons coming into the jail by an arrest, work release/trustees returning to the
jail, inmates transferred to the jail for court, but the entire jail staff and civilian employees upon
entering the secure areas of the jail will be scanned.”
