Author: Fautsko, Timothy F. Title: Steps To Best Practices For Court Building Security Summary: This report presents the findings of an assessment team that has evaluated court security in terms of “best practices” – guidelines describing those security measures that should be in place with respect to a comprehensive set of topics covering court buildings and court operations. These best practices are not only based on the considerable experience of NCSC assessment team members, but are also a compilation of various guidelines from the U.S. Marshals Service, National Sheriffs’ Association, International Association of Chiefs of Police, the Transportation Safety Administration, the Department of Homeland Security, and the National Association for Court Management. The NCSC assessment team recommends that leadership in every court building strive to achieve best practices in all topic areas to provide a suitable level of security for all those who work in or visit the court building.

Author: Fautsko, Timothy F. Title: Status of Court Security in State Courts -- A National Perspective Summary: According to incident data gathered by the Center for Judicial and Executive Security (CJES), the number of security threats and violent incidents in court buildings has increased dramatically in recent years. While security threats and violent incidents are on the rise, available funding from state and local governments for security staffing and equipment to protect courts is becoming increasingly limited. The National Center for State Courts (NCSC) received a grant from the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) to produce a comprehensive report on the status of court building security in this country. The report is organized to assist state and local, as well as tribal, native, and territorial courts to improve court security by assessing the current state of affairs regarding court building and courtroom security, identifying critical needs to improve security, and matching available resources to identified gaps and needs. In the development of this report, significant information that NCSC compiled with respect to court building and courtroom security assessments was reviewed and analyzed. The review included an analysis of NCSC's security assessment reports of over 225 court buildings, which contain a wealth of information regarding what courts do and do not have in place in the way of policies, procedures, staffing, equipment, and training. Further, the review included a comprehensive analysis of the information and data gathered by CJES, which examined court building shootings, bombings, arson attacks, and other court-targeted acts of violence. In addition to the review and analysis component of the study, a comprehensive web survey of a number of state, local, tribal, native, and territorial courts was conducted. A telephone survey was also conducted of all state court security directors. The responses to both of the surveys were used to identify: (1) what various courts have in place in the way of security; (2) the most critical needs that courts have in relation to security; and (3) the sources of funding courts have utilized to address critical needs.
