A civil disturbance in or around a court facility can occur at any time and may be related to a specific case or individual in custody. If the disturbance or demonstration creates a threat to the security of the court, the Branch Supervisor shall activate the Branch’s Security Contingency Plan. Inmates will be moved to the appropriate lockup in the event the demonstration is in the facility. If the demonstration is outside the facility and there are no participants in the courthouse, inmates may remain in court.
The Branch Supervisor shall immediately notify the Area Lieutenant of the situation and request additional resources, if necessary.
