VENDOR NAME: Securus Technologies

DAS APPROVAL DATE:

09/06/2018

SERVICE/PRODUCT NAME: Investigator Pro (IPro) and Video Relay Service (VRS)
SERVICE/PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
The Securus Investigator Pro (IPro) application shall be installed at all CTDOC sites. IPro shall be installed
and maintained at no cost to the State of Connecticut (“State”).
Initial and ongoing (IPro) training shall be provided to CT DOC staff upon request at no cost to the State. All
software upgrades shall be provided to the State at no additional cost.
Investigator Pro is a solution that identifies all the inmates on calls based on the sound of their voice using
the advanced WhoSpoke™ voice biometrics technology developed for the US Department of Defense, it
identifies all inmates speaking on a call. Investigator Pro goes beyond the limited capabilities of standard
biometric verification systems which only identify the caller at the start of or periodically throughout a call, and
don’t analyze the information in a structured way or piece relevant information together to make it easier for
investigators to uncover criminal patterns and associations. IPRO eliminates the security tampering methods
of PIN sharing, PIN stealing, and hand off calling by inmates.
The Investigator Pro (IPro) application also provides a cutting edge Call Player doubling the efficiency for CT
DOC Phone Monitors and Investigations by cutting listening time.
The Investigator Pro application and inmate enrollments shall be completed and the application fully installed
within 90 calendar days of CT DOC approval.
____________________________________________________________________________________
The Securus Video Relay Service (VRS) will be installed and maintained at five CT DOC Facilities of the
DOC’s choosing at no cost to the State.
The Securus Video Relay Service provides deaf inmates with a tool to communicate with family and friends
via a video connection through the relay service Purple. The application meets ADA requirements and deaf
inmates can communicate using their native language, American Sign Language (ASL). All call records and
video are also completely integrated into the current Securus Secure Call Platform (SCP) ensuring the calls
are under all of the security parameters currently in place for standard inmate calls.
. The video relay calls are provided at no cost to either party.
The DOC shall provide electrical service to all locations within DOC facilities where VRS is required.
Initial and ongoing VRS training shall be provided to CT DOC staff upon request at no cost to the State. All
software upgrades shall be provided to the State at no additional cost.
The Video Relay Service shall be completed and the application fully installed within 90 calendar days of CT
DOC approval.
