Abstract
Court security is a vital area that needs to be assessed continuously and all staff within the court must be observant of their surroundings at all times. Court security entails the court building, judges, staff, attorneys, jurors, security officers, and the public. The documents that are kept within the building and in the computers and file cabinets must be protected at all times. This takes a great amount of money and assessment to ensure that every detail is evaluated continuously.
