Sheriff’s deputies are at the front doors and at the judges’ sides at five courthouses in Pinellas County. They ensure the security of hundreds of courthouse employees and the thousands of citizens who come to the court houses every day to conduct business, appear for proceeding or serve on a jury.

Deputies will search briefcases, purses, backpacks and other belongings before entry into the courthouses. No weapons are allowed in the courthouses, and will be confiscated. Persons caught with weapons are subject to further action.
