Ohio Sup.R. 14.24
Security Incident Reporting
(A) Reporting of security incidents
(1) Every violation of law that occurs within a court facility should be reported to the
law enforcement agency having jurisdiction. To facilitate reporting, all court
personnel should familiarize themselves with the law enforcement agency that has
jurisdiction within and around their court facility.
(2) Each court should adopt a policy for reporting court security incidents and should
include the policy in the court's security policy and procedures manual. If more
than one court occupies a court facility, the courts shall collectively adopt a single
policy.
(3) A summary of court security incidents should be compiled annually for the court's
benefit in evaluating security measures.
(B) Periodic review of security incidents
All courts within the court facility should periodically review all court security incidents
so the judges and court personnel are aware of recent events.
History
Effective Date: March 1, 2009 Commentary Although the facility may be a county court facility, in some areas, if the facility is located within the limits of a municipal corporation, the local police may be the law enforcement agency having jurisdiction. A “court security incident” is any infraction outlined within the court's Security Policy and Procedures Manual and includes any and all disruptions made in the confines of the court facility. To measure the effectiveness of court security procedures and to aid in securing necessary funding for court security measures, it is useful to recognize and record court security incidents. A standard incident reporting form should be utilized by court p ersonnel to record each event which compromised the security of the court and/or the safety of the participants in the judicial process. Additionally, each court should do an annual summary of court security incidents for its own benefit in evaluating court security measures using the model incident reporting form. Commentary (July 1, 2026) Appendix C, Standard 14 was renumbered to Rule 14.24 as part of the 2026 restructuring of the Rules of Superintendence.
