Court Security & Prisoner Transport
January 14, 2020 @ 8:30 am - 4:30 pm
Although our American courtrooms are supposed to be a sanctuary of civility and order, they have become the scene of many violent attacks and prisoner escape attempts in the past decade. These episodes have many times led to safety concerns and fear of safety for those present. Additionally, they have reflected negatively on our public safety agencies. This course will help prepare officers working in our courtrooms for these and other critical incidents. Transport preparation and prisoner transportation security issues will also be covered. Highlights on judicial protection and threat management will be discussed.
Topics Include:
- Courthouse Security
- Courtroom Security
- Prisoner Transportation
