Description
Government buildings are persistent targets for disruption and violence, and courthouses are especially vulnerable. They house not only government functions but also the daily operations of the criminal justice system. Judges, defendants, victims, families, attorneys, and county officials all pass through these facilities, creating a high-risk environment.
Incidents have ranged from minor disruptions (like picketing) to serious acts of violence, including assaults and even homicides. Experience alone does not guarantee preparedness. The reality is not if an incident will occur in your courthouse, but when.
