Courthouses serve as the center of many government, legal, and community activities. They can also be vulnerable to threats of violence for all who use them. Join us to learn effective strategies and best practices to enhance a collaborative courthouse security philosophy. Gather tools and resources from current state and federal court services experts related to security planning, jury and witness safety considerations, and threat assessment and management. Presenters include experts in the areas law enforcement, state and federal attorneys, judges and other court services professionals.
Courthouses serve as vital centers of government and community life, making them frequent targets for both calculated and impulsive acts of violence. Unfortunately, despite these clear risks, court security is often overlooked. This course is designed to counter such threats by enhancing staff readiness, learning to conduct thorough physical security assessments, rigorously enforcing safety protocols, and establishing specialized protective security teams. Crafted for both newcomers to court law enforcement and seasoned professionals looking to sharpen and extend their skill sets, the program offers flexible security strategies that can be adapted for a wide range of judicial settings—from municipal and tribal courts to more formal state-level systems.
Community events come in all shapes and sizes. Nationally, communities face events and related threats that demand preparation, response, and recovery planning. This course will cover identification of threats; assessment of sites; planning for and response to multiple threats (i.e., manmade and natural events); and recovery from critical incidents.
