RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Sheriff-Coroner, or designee, to reimburse the Superior Court in an amount up to $150,000 for costs associated with upgrading security systems in various Contra Costa County Superior Court locations, as recommended by the Sheriff-Coroner.

FISCAL IMPACT:

All costs will be reimbursed by Trial Court Funding. No change to Net County Cost.

BACKGROUND:

The State is in the process of upgrading its security systems in the Courts with the purchase of bullet proof glass, security cameras, ballistic podiums, ballistic shields and upgrades to its weapon systems in order to protect personnel and the public.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The Courts handle trials and hearings of a serious nature on a daily basis. Recent violent events across the country are a reminder of the importance of security efforts. These upgrades are essential for the protection of staff, both sworn and non-sworn, working in the Courts in the event of a serious incident or violent encounter.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

No impact.
