Dear Security Commission Members:
Thank you for your consideration, and continued support. We have experienced a greater level of security
in our Court Complex in recent years, which would not have been possible without your help. 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
2016 Grant Request for Calendar Year 2016
The Nineteenth Judicial District has an organized a 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 Sheriffs 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 2015 Grant request.
2015 Description Total Requested

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.
• Employees continue to receive ongoing mandatory training on security procedures.
• Every division and the clerk's offices participate in scenario training specific to that location.
• 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.
• Communication within entities housed in the Court Complex has continued to improve
• 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 is in place with the Greeley Police Department to provide inter-agency protection in
emergency situations.
Obiectives, anticipated results and timeline for implementation should requested items be
approved:
The primary objective is to continue to enhance security in the courts and probation six-building complex.
That remains our priority for this year's request.
The following are our anticipated results. All enhancements would be purchased as soon as the funds
were made available.
• The Probation Department is expanding into a larger building that currently has no security
equipment in place. The purchase of the CEIA Walk-through Metal Detector would be used in that
facility.
• The hand-held wands are to be used in the new probation facility and to replace obsolete
equipment currently in use. A key feature in these wands is their ability to filter out false-positive
readings from rebar in the concrete floors.
• The EID restraint is to replace current aging equipment.

software for counting.
➢ The walk through detector is calibrated initially by computer and allows for the
sensitivity to be adjusted to detect large metal objects or down to small metal objects.
➢ The chip card can be used to increase the sensitivity in seconds if necessary for higher
profile hearings.This sensitivity adjustment provides for more efficiency and enhanced
reliability in detection.
