Reminder of Items Prohibited from the Courthouse
Monday, March 20, 2017
From the Facilities Security Department of the Sheriff's Office
As part of her presentation at a recent Circuit Court Committee meeting, Lt. Susanne Dorsey of the Facilities Security Departments of the Sheriff's Office provided a list of all contraband items that are prohibited from the courthouse. As most of us have attorney ID badges, it's especially important to review this list, as we may easily have these types of items in our bags that we forget about and then our bags don't normally go through the magnetometers. Please be aware, remove these items from your bags if you have them, and keep the courthouse safe!
