The provision and maintenance of adequate security measures throughout the County of Los Angeles Court System, and various other County facilities, is the primary responsibility of both Security Officers and Security Assistants.
The ever-present threats of courthouse disruption, violence, unauthorized access, theft, vandalism, and other crimes demands the implementation of a positive and effective security program to prevent or minimize these hazards.
In both its planning and procedural aspects, security is an operational problem with features unique to each facility and its occupants. To ensure adequate and effective security measures and procedures, responsibility must be delineated and individually placed within each facility.
