The grants we have received since the beginning of the Court Security Grant Program have allowed us the ability to improve the level of security provided in our Court Complex. Without the benefit of these grants, the advancements we have made would not have been possible particularly within the time frame. As we look forward to the potential sunset of the grants, we want to express our appreciation and provide support for their continuation. Please feel free to contact us with any questions that you may have. Regards, Nineteenth Judicial District Local Security Team Nineteenth Judicial District Local Security Team 2017 Grant Request for Calendar Year 2018 The Nineteenth Judicial District has an organized Local Security Team that meets four to seven times per year. It is comprised of members representing the Nineteenth Judicial District Courts and Probation, District Attorney's Office, Weld County Government and Weld County Sheriff's Office. The LST agreed to have the state conduct a security assessment of the Court Complex in March 2009. Based upon this initial review and emerging security concerns, the LST collaboration develops and prioritizes responses and requests to address legitimate security needs. The following request outlines, in order of priority, the equipment requested by the Nineteenth Judicial District LST in the 2018 Grant request. 2018 Priority Description Total Requested 1 Nova Lockable Transport RACC Belts (x2) $ 2,750.00 2 Polycom Video (x1)/Partner Premier (x1) $ 8,623.33 Polycom Video (x1)/Partner Premier (x1) $ 13,004.33 3 Astrophysics X -Ray Inspection System $ 19,380.00 Total $ 43,757.66 The individual summary for each of the above listed items is detailed on pages 3 through 4 of this document. Steps LST has implemented: Since the inception of the Weld County LST, its cooperating groups collectively have implemented varying strategies to heighten security. The following is a summary of some of the more significant changes specific to the LST activities: Emergency evacuation procedures have been developed and tested through training and actual situations. 1 • Employees continue to receive ongoing mandatory training on security procedures. • Every division and office area participates in scenario training specific to that division or area. • Security screening station protocols have been enhanced. • Training and communication with security guards continues to be improved. • Upgrades and enhancements to panic buttons have been installed. • Evacuation drills are conducted. • Communication within entities housed in the Court Complex has improved. • Video recordings at the security posts have been utilized in criminal investigations. • The state Court Security Training has enhanced security awareness and significantly reduced resistance to requests for additional security in courtrooms. Security tips and refresher memos are distributed to staff periodically through the year. • Mandatory security awareness training is given to all new court employees. Off campus evacuation locations have been secured. • An MOU has been developed with the Greeley Police Department for providing inter -agency protection in emergency situations. Objectives, anticipated results and timeline for implementation should requested items be approved: The primary objective is to continue to enhance and sustain security efforts in the courts and probation five -building complex. The following are our anticipated results. All enhancements would be purchased as soon as the funds were made available. • The lockable transport belts would replace outdated equipment and help ensure safety and security measures when transporting inmates. The Polycom systems that supports the remote video court proceedings are aging out. It will be reaching end of sustainable life soon and will have a large impact on security operations if replacements are not worked.
