Place any bags or personal belongings in the container provided, including purses, watches, jewelry, backpacks, belts and pocket contents.

Walk through the metal detector. If the metal detector sets off an alert or alarm, an officer may perform another scan using a hand-held wand. The officer may also conduct a physical search of personal articles or conduct a pat down of the outer surfaces of a person’s clothing to determine the cause of the alert or alarm. Before leaving the security checkpoint, please ensure that you retrieve all personal possessions. The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office will not hold any personal property that is not permitted in the court facility.
