Court Security

By Georgia Statute (O.C.G.A. 15-16-10 (a)(2) the Sheriff is responsible for the security of the Cobb County Court Facilities. Sheriff’s Deputies, Security Control Technicians, and Bailiffs assigned to the Court Services Section of the Cobb County Sheriff’s Office insure the security of the Cobb County Court Facilities twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.

Security begins at facility entrances with deputies, security control technicians and bailiffs using video/audio surveillance equipment, x-ray machines, as well as stationary and hand-held magnetometers. All visitors and packages are screened for the protection of the citizens conducting business at the court facilities. Georgia Law (O.C.G.A. 16-11-127) prohibits weapons from being brought inside a court facility. Common everyday items such as pocketknives, box cutters, scissors, etc. are also prohibited in the facility.

Court Services Staff are also trained to respond to medical emergencies until the arrival of advanced emergency medical personnel. First Aid Kits and Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) are available when needed.

All citizens of Georgia are called upon to perform their civic duty to serve as a juror. The Sheriff's Office fulfills its obligations in regards to the service of jury summons. We have provided some information to be of assistance to those serving as a juror.  Read More...
