Court Security Forum

Welcome to the Court Security Forum! NCSC and members of the court and law enforcement communities are concerned about court security. This is an issue that affects us all. This forum was established as a central point of information about aspects of court security. We hope to provide resources, news, and networking opportunities through the Forum.

Judges, court staff, and members of the law enforcement community who wish to register for the site may do so.* Other visitors may find the publicly-accessible sections of the Forum helpful.

The Forum is monitored by members of Knowledge and Information Services (KIS). Please contact KIS [knowledge@ncsc.dni.us] with your questions about court security and the Forum generally.
