Members of the public who will be visiting either the Courthouse or Administration Center must enter and exit the facilities through the main Courthouse entrance, 515 W. Moreland Blvd, Door #2. Screening will take place in the lobby of the Courthouse. A corridor near the Courthouse lobby connects both buildings together. Hours of operation are 7:30am-5:00pm Monday-Friday excluding holidays when the facilities are closed. Additional screening will occur at this location when the facilities are open after hours.

The screening station is similar to those used at airports. Individuals will place their carried items (purses, cell phones, laptop computers, briefcases, etc.) on an X-ray machine belt. They also will have to remove any metal items from their clothing and pockets and place them in a bin to be inspected. They will then walk through a metal detector and retrieve their belongings on the other side. Security staff are prepared to assist persons with disabilities or other needs.
