Heartland MicroPayments Staff/Officer Cards provide secure access to vending machines and dining facilities. This electronic payment program reduces cash in the dining facilities, so inmates aren’t tempted to pocket money from dining transactions. The system allows for discounted or special pricing for officers and provides an audit trail that helps direct officer spent funds back to the officer trust funds.

BENEFITS OF THE STAFF & OFFICER CARD SYSTEM

Secure Vending Areas

• Attach a Vending Interface System directly to vending machines.
• Reduce the threat to officers by prohibiting staff and officers from carrying cash.
• Control access to each vending machine. The possibility of staff/officer cards being used in inmate vending machines can be prevented.
• Combine, if desired, Visitor Room vending machines with Staff/Officer machines to reduce equipment and stocking requirements.
• Automatic separation of inmates and officers in audit reports allowing for vending funds to go back to the individual trust funds: employee and inmate funds

Staff/Officer Dining

• Eliminate the exchange of cash with stored value cards or meal tickets from the Automated Ticket Generation Device
• Reduce theft by implementing a cashless dining facility
