Court Security
Commanded by Chief Court Security Officer. In addition to
the 17 courtrooms, the Court Security Officers provide
security to the McHenry County Government Center. Court Security
Officers have full law enforcement powers and provide law
enforcement duties within the Government Center complex.
Court Security Officers provide courtroom security during all
hearings, trials and whenever court is in session. Court security
officers open and close the court and are responsible for the
safety and security of the judge, court officers, and the
courtroom. Whenever a jury is sequestered for overnight
deliberations, Court Security Officers remain with the jury to
provide security and to ensure that no outside contact is made with
jurors.
