Security

Each visitor who enters the Fairfax County Courthouse goes through a security screening procedure, with assistance from a Court Security Officer. To speed the process, visitors are asked to:

• Empty pockets, placing contents in the container provided.
• Place purses, briefcases, backpacks and parcels on the X-ray machine for scanning.
• Walk through the metal detector.

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.

There are a variety of potentially hazardous and dangerous items that are not permitted inside the Courthouse. In general, items that could be used to injure or harm another person are not permitted and cannot be brought into a court building. Among items prohibited are guns, knives, ammunition, pepper spray, mace, razor blades, illegal drugs and any other type of dangerous or hazardous material or property. If in doubt about an item, leave it at home or in your vehicle. If a potentially hazardous or dangerous item is brought into a court building, the person possessing the item must remove it from the building. It cannot be left with court security.
