Westminster is pleased to announce that it’s German subsidiary, GLIS GmbH, has secured a contract to provide sophisticated mobile phone detection systems in a number of European Prisons.

The systems will be used to detect, locate and trace mobile phones, smart watches, tablets, laptops and other similar communication devices being smuggled into or used in prisons.

Commenting on the contract award Westminster’s CEO, Peter Fowler, said:

“Mobile phones and other illicit communication devices are a significant and growing problem in prisons and custodial centres due to their potential to facilitate illegal activities and compromise security. Such devices are used to coordinate criminal activities,including drug trafficking, harassment, and escape attempts. These devices also pose a threat to prison staff and other inmates by enabling communication with the outside world, leading to potential violence and unrest within the prison environment.

“As a leading provider of security solutions to governments and organisation around the world, Westminster is perfectly placed to assist prison authorities counter such threats and I am delighted we have secured this latest important new contract in Europe.”
