Chapter 1 - Security Program
4-01/015.00 Scope of Work

This program has been designed to increase the level of courthouse and facility security by:

  • Adding armed and unarmed security personnel to posts in and around courthouses and County facilities, in addition to performing weapons screening.
  • Consolidating courthouse security responsibilities under the Sheriff.
  • Providing on-site Sheriff's Department management and supervision of security personnel.
  • Enhancing responses to breaches of security.

Current court weapons screening standards and practices will be improved with Sheriff's Department management by on-site supervision, employee selection standards, specialized entry-level positions, and in-service training programs. Security Officers and Security Assistants will man a fixed post and/or be assigned to patrol designated areas.
