Tech/Engineering - Other / Security management systems
Dutch term or phrase: Gehechten
Various instances found in a document on a security management system (system incorporating access control, security cameras, biometrics, etc.). Most instances are found in combination with the word 'gebied':

GEHECHTEN gebied
De uitzondering vormen de deuren in de gang verdachten gebied tot aan de lift.
Deze staan scherp en kunnen door de operator direct worden vrijgegeven door aanklikken van het icoon zonder tussenkomst van het menu.

Panicbar (alleen bedienbaar SCR bij Panicalarm)
In het GEHECHTEN gebied is over een groot gedeelte van de doorgangen een panicbar aangebracht.

De operator heeft de keuze voor de volgende profielen: X, Y of Z.
Indien er GEHECHTEN en/of getuigen zijn is Y nodig.

detainees
Explanation:
The term gehechten normally seems to be used in the combinations voorlopig gehechten and preventief gehechten only, i.e. referring to suspects/defendants who are detained prior to (and during) trial.

The term gehechtengebied usually seems to refer to a self-contained area within police stations or court buildings where suspects/defendants are held in custody (prior to or during trial). I would suggest translating this as custody area (UK) or detainee holding area (US).

Example sentence(s):
  • trained staff, clothed in protective gear, who enter the inmate's area in tandem, each with a coordinated
  • Food must be covered or enclosed while being transported to the inmate area
