Courtroom Security Operations

 

This course will be modified to the level of expertise in the audience and can be adapted in the classroom for multiple levels of experience and understanding.

 

Training Goals and Objectives

This course is specifically designed for the existing law enforcement or private security professional, which may require an enhanced knowledge of the dynamics and responsibilities of conducting and maintaining courtroom security operations. Additionally, this course is designed to provide a solid understanding of security and methods of implementation as they pertain to the field of court security, prisoner management & transportation, liability issues, and general physical security operations.

Training Audience, Format and Content

This is an advanced skill development course designed for agencies involved in or anticipating involvement in the security operations in and around a judicial facility.

 

This course is most successful when taught and received with audiences of 30 officers or fewer, but has been given in groups of 100 or more with successful reviews.  The smaller groups enable officers to have more direct dialog & contact with the instructors and the other students.

 

The course is designed in 2 day sessions with each day involving the exploration of a different topic and the reinforcement of previous learned material.  The course is generally designed to run from 0800 to 1600 hours daily, but can be manipulated for evenings and extended days as needed.
