Part I

You will find information about courtroom security surveys. This focus on building and creating a safe courtroom is urgently important to the public trust. For Part I of this assignment, please create a list of 10 questions you would ask in an attempt to learn more about the overall security of a given courtroom or courthouse. For example, what would be a question you would ask on the survey that would cover some aspect of enhancing security in the parking lot? These survey questions should cover the following topics: exterior safety, entrance security, and courtroom security. There are additional subtopics you may want to emphasize for your survey.

Exterior Safety:

• parking lot (e.g., Is the lot paved? What is the distance from the lot to the courthouse?),
• lighting (e.g., Does the parking lot have lights?), and
• physical barriers (e.g., Jersey barriers, fencing).

• Entrance Security:

  • doors (e.g., secured),
  • screening area,
  • random screening area,
  • contraband (e.g., What constitutes as contraband?), and
  • security team (e.g., training).

• Courtroom Security:

  • deputies (e.g., training, years of service),
  • barriers and Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED), and
  • judges’ chambers (e.g., secured, panic room).

• After creating the survey, write a two-page overview of your survey. If you use sources, which are not required, they should be listed on the reference page and be in proper APA Style.

  Part II

  For Part II of this assignment, create 10 slides in a PowerPoint presentation (not including the title slide or reference slide) that you would present to the sheriff to show the importance of your findings. The presentation should use graphics where warranted and the speaker’s notes in the notes section of each slide.
