A SMARTER APPROACH TO VISITOR SCREENING AND IDENTIFICATION

The basic Hall Pass visitor identification system consists of powerful yet easy-to-use computer software, a compact scanner, unlimited access to our sex offender database, and a versatile visitor badge printer that can be used at schools, other educational facilities, day care centers, or off-campus events.

Hall Pass Features:

Reads drivers' licenses, green cards and military identification cards
Logs all visitors with "in" and "out" times
Verifies name/address of visitors and authenticity of ID provided
Screens visitors against most current national sex offender database
Notifies law enforcement and office immediately of identified offenders
Generates either standard visitor photo badges or unique time-limited photo badges
Creates searchable log of visitors on campus at any date or time
Stores identity image and information in secure Tier One data center
Provides multiple views and reporting capabilities
Works from any PC or laptop, on-campus or off-site
Can be installed at a single school or on a school district network

How it works:

All visitors entering the facility must present their driver's license or Government issued identification card for processing utilizing the Hall Pass scanner.
The Hall Pass software extracts the visitor's photograph and identification details from the license or ID, then sends the data to CompuData's servers.
The visitor's data is compared with records in the proprietary Hall Pass national sex offender registry.
The front office staff's computer screen shows the visitor's name, photograph and date of birth extracted from the visitor's driver's license or government-issued ID.
If there is a match between the visitor and the sex offender registry, the staff person will see a red "fail" button on the screen, plus the sex offender's photograph and offense details from the registry for additional confirmation.
In the case of a match, the system immediately alerts designated school administrators, security officials and/or law enforcement authorities via automated voice mail, email or text message.
If there is a green (pass) button on-screen, visitors are cleared and issued a badge showing their name and photograph, plus the date and the time in bold type.
If the school uses the special time-limited badges, a large red stop sign automatically appears on the badge after 12 hours. This feature is a more visible way to prevent reuse of badges and prompt appropriate intervention.
All visitor data is preserved in the Hall Pass database at CompuData's secure data center where it can be accessed at any time by administrators and organized in a variety of reports.

Hall Pass makes it easy and cost-effective to keep track of all school visitors:

Hall Pass Add-Ons and Optional Services

QuickPass

Does your school have frequent repeat visitors, such as parents who have lunch with their children, or long-term substitutes? QuickPass speeds the screening process while ensuring that all visitors are scanned against the real-time sex offender database each time.

QuickPass is a radio frequency identification (RFID) key fob that is preloaded with the identification information, including a photograph, of your designated frequent visitors. Your QuickPass visitors simply hold their key fob up to the QuickPass reader, and it checks them against the sex offender system. A green light gives the go-ahead to generate a badge; a red light is accompanied by an audible alarm if there is a “hit.”

QuickPass holders love the convenience of breezing through without having to dig through a handbag or wallet to take out their driver’s license or ID each time. And, they appreciate knowing school administrators are being proactive in keeping the campus safe.
