NaRQ
NaRQ is a new system for discovering smuggled drugs
Drug smuggling is a global problem with far-reaching social and economic consequences. Drugs are often carried across national borders by smugglers who swallow them. Dealing with swallowed drugs has been both a difficult and an unpleasant problem, often with major health risks for staff at prisons, airports and border crossings. With NaRQ, these risks are minimized.
NaRQ enables automatic handling of swallowed drugs, with the entire process monitored and recorded by the system. The drugs are separated from the waste and disinfected, enabling secure, efficient handling.
NaRQ provides a means of handling swallowed drugs that is more secure and more reliable for both staff and suspects.
- Automatic handling
- Improved working environment
- More inspection points
- Secure handling of potential evidence
- Robust equipment
- Minimal risk of injury
- Easy to operate
NaRQ improves both efficiency and security by over 90%
How NaRQ works
Every step is managed and monitored by NaRQ. For staff, this makes it a faster and significantly safer process – and just a single step for them.
Step 1: Separation
When the toilet is flushed, the contents are transported from the toilet to the wash chamber. Water breaks up waste that is flushed down the drain. A lightly soluble toilet paper should be used in limited quantities and preferably placed in a separate trash bin.
A waterproof video camera monitors the toilet bowl’s water trap. With this, you can check and document that no objects from the previous user remain.
A transparent drainage hose connects the toilet bowl and the washing machine, allowing for the same control to ensure no objects from the previous user are left behind.
Step 2: Rinsing
Possible non-organic objects are collected in the central collection container. They are then washed with tempered water and subsequently disinfected with cleaning and disinfectant agents.
Step 3: Drying and delivery
Hot air blows into the chamber and removes excess moisture. The collection container is then transported to the front hatch, from where it can be lifted out and its contents inspected and processed.
