MARINETTE, Wis. (WBAY) – If you need to visit the Marinette County Courthouse, expect changes to protect you and everyone who works within the justice center.
This is the first week with the new security protocols.
Visitors need to go through a screening stations before going to the 1st and 2nd floor of the judicial center.
Deputies may search your personal items, including purses, handbags, computers and totes.
Anything deemed a hazard may be confiscated, and the sheriff’s office says some items won’t be returned, including knives, razors, pointed scissors, guns, metal knuckles, fireworks, and any other item that is deemed unnecessary or a threat to safety.
Sheriff Randy Miller issued a statement Monday, the first day of the new screening, “As some have mentioned, this has become a necessity to keep all safe that come into this building. One of the first screens today was one of our judges himself, and, overall, the new process went well.”
The sheriff thanked the public for their patience and understanding.
He also thanked the deputy who volunteered to take on this duty.
