Every time you visit the Regional Justice Center or Family Court, it seems they have implemented new security measures to protect the general public. With the recent rash of courthouse shootings and security blunders, walking into the courthouse has become reminiscent of airport security procedures and it is only getting worse.
So, to avoid holdups in line, take a few steps to ensure you will breeze through without any issues.
- Read ALL posted signs at or around the security checkpoint;
- Try to put jackets, coats, belts, and shoes through the X-ray before being asked to do so;
- Make sure your pockets are empty because even the smallest piece of metal will set off the metal detectors and cause delay;
- Place all loose articles in the provided baskets before you get to the X-ray;
- Keep moving since even a short pause can back up the line;
- Save all questions for the information booth located past security as questioning security personnel only slows down the process for everyone else;
Following these simple steps will ensure quick entry every time.
