Hardening Security For Courthouse Buildings

Several states recently boosted their courthouse security measures for the first time in years – some in response to serious breaches. Others are making upgrades just to stay ahead of the game. Either way, administrators recognize the critical need to protect citizens, employees, judges, and defendants in what can often become a volatile environment.

Take Tennessee, for example. The Administrative Office of the Courts launched a $2 million grant program last year to improve security at courthouses across the state. Security breaches, including one where an inmate shot two deputies at a Coffee County courthouse, compelled the state to make security upgrades for the first time in two decades.

Prior to the grant program, nearly half of Tennessee counties failed to meet minimum security standards. Now, courthouses will be equipped with panic buttons, bulletproof benches, armed guards during court sessions, hand-held metal detectors and more.

Other states and counties have followed suit. The Minnesota Supreme Court provided $1 million to bolster security at 57 of the state’s county courthouses. The awards have funded projects such as security screening stations, bullet-resistant glass at public service counters and staff security training.

In Morgan County, Alabama, the courthouse recently installed an X-ray inspection system to scan for drugs, bombs and metal objects. The facility also features new surveillance cameras and tempered security glass to protect employees.

Overall, these projects outfit existing facilities with much-needed upgrades, but hardening security in new courthouse buildings encompasses a much bigger scope.

City Building Security Enhancements: Bulletproof Windows For Government Offices

There are three questions you need to be able to answer when adding bulletproof windows and enhanced security features to a city building — and none of them have to do with gun types or bullet calibers.

When they think about security, most county supervisors and city managers focus on what they want to stop. That’s usually whatever style of assault weapon has most recently dominated the news.

But this isn’t the best way to approach city building security upgrades.

First and foremost, it’s an expensive approach. Assault rifle rounds are engineered to pe*****te. Stopping them requires materials that are heavier, more expensive, and more difficult to work with.

Second—and equally important—stopping an assault rifle is almost certainly entirely unnecessary. Mass mayhem with assault rifles is heavily reported because it is rare (and thus newsworthy). Meanwhile, a few common handgun calibers account for almost all of the shootings in America.

But most importantly, by focusing on what bullets you want to stop during a disaster, you may distract yourself from addressing the interactions you want to facilitate on a daily basis.

These are the three key questions you want to ask as you begin your project:

How do we communicate with visitors?
What do we need to pass between staff and the public?
What do we need to secure?

Answering these questions now allows you to enhance safety and security in an active city building while also improving the workplace environment and visitor experience.
