courtroom security
Judicial safety measures
Courtroom security refers to the measures and personnel protecting courts from violence, disruption, and unauthorized access.
This includes metal detectors, bailiffs, and armed officers who screen visitors, guard prisoners during proceedings, and maintain order.
Courtroom security was heightened after threats against the judge.
The term also covers protocols for high-profile trials where emotions or media attention increase risk.
