COSATT Ltd is the company behind the unique Cell Occupant and Occupancy Monitoring System (COMS). We design, manufacture, install, and maintain the system.

COMS/LSMS uses sensors within a dome on the cell ceiling to detect movement. ‘Movement’ constitutes any level, down to chest movement caused by breathing, even in deep sleep.

The monitoring capabilities of the system warn staff of cell occupants’ potential problems. Thus providing an increased awareness and more time for preventative measures to be taken; thereby possibly saving lives and safeguarding careers.

“The human cost of tragedy will always be greater than any financial cost; a human cost borne by custody staff as well as the victims and all those associated with both”

Insp. Barbra Campbell, Crime Disorder Reduction Partnership, Hertfordshire Constabulary

COMS has been in constant development and improvement over the last 7 years against a requirement laid down originally by Hertfordshire Constabulary. The system was known first as the Cell Breathing Monitor, then as LSMS and currently in the latest generation COMS.

The system is:

• designed to provide an early warning for custody staff with maximum ease of use and minimal maintenance.
• completely automatic, working 365 days a year and can log every cell event; providing full accountability to all those involved.
• intended to supplement, not to replace, the visit requirements stated by the Police & Criminal Evidence Act (PACE), Codes of Practice.
• there to support users' Duty of Care & to provide an indelible audit trail to demonstrate that all obligations, and more, were adhered to.
