Bernalillo County has scrapped its contract with a company that supplied sensors to monitor the vital signs of jail inmates, saying the technology was not mature enough and had connection issues. 

The County Commission approved the three-year contract in April 2023 for just over $1.2 million and implemented the technology in July the same year. But the county terminated the contract with APIC Solutions in May.
