Facility Access

The Personnel Office is situated within the Criminal Court complex. Because this is a high-security area adjacent to the jail and courthouses, all visitors must pass through stringent security checkpoints. Cell phones, cameras, and recording devices are strictly prohibited in the building. Lockers may be available for a fee, but it is best to leave prohibited items in your vehicle or at home.
