In recent days, the vigilance and swift intervention of staff at the Leclerc Detention Centre in Laval led to the seizure of prohibited items.
Among the confiscated items, which were prevented from entering the facility, were tobacco and narcotics, with an institutional value estimated at nearly $49,000.
Enhanced Security
Several measures are being implemented in Quebec detention centres to combat the smuggling of illicit goods.
Major investments were announced on October 24, 2023, for this purpose.
The detection and recovery of prohibited items contribute to the primary goal of ensuring the safety of people and facilities.
The Quebec Ministry of Public Security has since rolled out the installation of free-standing fences, window grills, body-scanning detectors, and security arches to address contraband in detention centres.
The Ministry also announced on June 3 a series of technological measures to combat drone-delivered contraband and to facilitate search operations by correctional officers across Quebec, including a new generation of more effective drone detectors, supported by cellphone detection devices and mobile X-ray scanners.
