 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposed effort will conduct a pilot study in which correctional officers wear a safety device consisting of a wireless location tag with an alarm/assault detection feature. The Correctional Officer Distress Alarm (CODA) system localizes the endangered officer, thus allowing aid to be sent to his or her precise location. The expected outcome of the CODA intervention is two-fold. One is to reduce both the incidence and severity of violence related injury among correctional officers. The second is to reduce occupational stress in correctional officers by providing them an additional level of safety and protection as they perform their duties. Our team has successfully met the two specific aims of the Phase I feasibility study. The first was to design and prototype a CODA system. In support of this aim, we have worked with the U.S. Bureau of Prisons, correctional officers, prison administrators, and a professional criminologist to distill requirements for CODA. We have produced a correctional officer tracking tag with a demonstrated assault detector and supporting client-server software capable of being scaled for larger deployments in large prisons. Our team has tested this prototype CODA system in a representative prison environment verifying performance in terms of accuracy, latency, and range. Phase II will include an impact study at a correctional facility with a ruggedized, operational prototype.

 描述（由申请人提供）：这项拟议的努力将进行试点研究，其中惩教人员佩戴的安全设备组成的无线定位标签与报警/攻击检测功能。 惩教人员遇险警报系统（CODA）定位受到威胁的官员，从而使援助能够送到他或她的确切位置。 的 CODA干预的预期结果是双重的。一是减少管教人员中暴力相关伤害的发生率和严重程度。 第二是减轻惩教人员的职业压力，为他们履行职责提供额外的安全和保护。我们的团队成功地实现了第一阶段可行性研究的两个具体目标。第一个是设计CODA系统并制作原型。为了支持这一目标，我们与美国监狱局、惩教人员、监狱管理人员和专业犯罪学家合作，提炼出CODA的要求。我们已经制作了一个狱警跟踪标签，带有一个演示的攻击探测器和支持客户端-服务器软件，能够在大型监狱中进行更大规模的部署。我们的团队已经在一个典型的监狱环境中测试了这个原型CODA系统，验证了准确性，延迟和范围方面的性能。第二阶段将包括在一个改造设施进行一项影响研究，该设施具有一个加固的可操作原型。
