If the x-ray or metal detector sets off an alert or alarm, a Court Security Officer may perform another scan, using a hand wand. The security officer may also ask permission to conduct a physical search of their person and personal articles to determine the cause of the alert or alarm. Before proceeding from the security screening area, visitors should be sure to retrieve all of their personal possessions.


Cell phones with a built-in camera are prohibited in the Courthouse.
