What it does
The Court Security Program contributes to the safety of the courts, through the development, implementation, and compliance with policies and procedures designed to ensure the safety and security of members of the judiciary, litigants and employees. The program also cultivates and enhances the organization’s capacity to respond to threats through ongoing collaboration with law enforcement departments and agencies and the optimum use of security intelligence. The program also identifies gaps in capability and develops potential solutions to address deficiencies, in order to enhance the organization capabilities against potential threats.
