Courthouse security assessments.

What it covers

What the assessment covers.

• Screening at the public entrance, and every other way in
• Where the public, the judge and the prisoner cross paths
• Chambers, the bench and the routes between them
• Holding and prisoner movement
• Parking, arrival and the perimeter
• Duress, camera and access systems
• Post orders, staffing and response

For the committee

Written for the court security committee.

SB 42 put a court security committee in every Texas county. The report is written for that room: each finding rated, each fix in order.

What you receive

What you receive.

• A walkthrough of the building with the people who run it, on a working day
• A written report, each finding rated, with what to fix first and what can wait
• A briefing to the committee, the sheriff and the commissioners court

Findings are measured against the U.S. Marshals Service judicial security standards, the National Center for State Courts guidance, and the CCJ/COSCA Court Security Handbook.

The pairing

Pair the assessment with the class.

The findings from your building become the scenarios your officers rehearse.
