About Life Check Systems
Our simple safety and security technology for correctional facilities and schools ensures your security policies are enforced 100% of the time.
Our Story
Life Check’s founder, Brandt McMillan, started practicing government litigation in 2008. He represented local governments in numerous jail suicides and police liability cases as well as the families of inmates lost by suicide while incarcerated. For many years, he saw the same situation over and over — failure to comply with regulations requiring observations of inmates (especially those in a mental or physical health crisis) leading to cases of suicide and death. These tragic scenarios lead to a life being lost that could have been saved, lawsuits resulting in millions of taxpayer dollars, and funding being cut for local governments.
Life Check for Corrections
Brandt aimed to address the problem, so in 2017 he partnered with his father, Mike McMillan, and together they developed Life Check Systems. Life Check is a powerful cell check technology solution that reduces liability by ensuring correctional officers are conducting and documenting all required inmate observations. Our system reduces the risk of a critical incident happening and helps keep inmates and correctional officers safe. It also creates accountability by producing automatic, paperless logs with a mobile device so officers don’t have to rely on pen and paper anymore to record security checks.
Life Check for Schools
In 2022, Life Check expanded our security technology for schools at the request of our clients to ensure all doors are locked on schedule and stay locked. With the use of all-weather NFC location tags, School Resource Officers or assigned school personnel can track locations that should be continuously monitored while students are present.
