SUMMARY OF SECURITY RECOMMENDATIONS
A review of Courthouse security indicates the following additional
measures would further enhance security and .the County Executive
recommends they be implemented:
1. Initiate an identification badge system for all Courthouse
employees. This system will help identify employees from the
public and enhance security. It is not uncommon to find
unauthorized people in employee work areas.
2. Install additional interior door locks to restrict public
access to remaining courtrooms and judicial administrative
areas.
3. Install intrusion alarms on 18 exterior doors. Alarms will be
monitored by the FM&O Division Building Safety Unit.
4. Install two (2) card key access locks to courtyard service
entrances for after-hour use by judges and authorized
personnel.
5. On a regular basis, the County Executive's office will review
security measures with representatives of the courts and other
elected offices located in the Courthouse Complex for the on-
going refinement of security measures.
6. Modify the controls of the three public elevators to restrict
weekend and after-hour use.
7. Install door locks on Court Tower stairway doors to prohibit
unauthorized after-hour re-entry except at the first and fifth
floors.
