LaSalle County jail to get body scanner

By Billy Thompson Dec 5, 2022 | 11:08 AM

The LaSalle County Board last week approved the $166,000 bid from Tek 84 for a body scanner. It’ll go in the county jail to check incoming inmates for contraband. Sheriff Adam Diss says the company didn’t put in the lowest bid. Two were lower, but Diss says those machines wouldn’t have been a good fit.

Diss says having a body scanner that fits the place it will be is the most responsible.
