This session will look at Regina Police Service’s groundbreaking initiative to implement biometric health monitoring technology in its detention facility — a first of its kind initiative in Saskatchewan.
- Onboarding continuous, real-time monitoring of vital health metrics, including heart rate and respiratory rate and providing immediate alerts to detention staff in the event of anomalies that may indicate medical distress
- Training officers for swift intervention, reducing the risk of fatality and ensuring timely medical assessments for detained individuals
