PRESIDING JUDGE ORDER NO. 26-025 
 
Case: D24PJO1 
 
ORDER ESTABLISHING COURTHOUSE 
SCREENING AND ACCESS REQUIREMENTS 
 
   
 
The Court, having determined that security screening and controlled courthouse access 
are necessary to protect the safety of the public, staff, and all courthouse users. To ensure 
safety, compliance with Oregon law, and consistent operational practices across both 
counties, the Court hereby orders: 
 
1. Public Access & Screening Requirements 
All public access to each courthouse is limited to one designated entrance equipped 
with electronic screening for weapons and other prohibited items. (See Attachment A).  
 
All persons not exempted by this order are subject to electronic and hand search of their 
person and property by law enforcement personnel, as well as the seizure of any 
prohibited items. Anyone who refuses to be searched will not be admitted into the 
courthouse. 
 
Grant County: Public access is through the southwest (rear) entrance of the courthouse. 
All remaining courthouse entrances shall remain locked and accessible only to 
authorized employees via keycard. 
 
Harney County: Public access is through the east (front) entrance of the courthouse, 
except for individuals requiring the ADA-accessible entrance. The back (west) entrance 
of the courthouse will remain locked and accessible only via employee keycards in 
accordance with county policy. It will be equipped with an Aiphone (camera intercom 
system) so non-employee members of the public needing ADA access can alert 
screening staff or designated backup personnel. When security screening is operating, 
all non-employee individuals entering through this entrance must undergo screening 
performed by screening staff. When screening is not operating, designated staff may 
allow these individuals into the building. 
 
2.  Employee Entry & Screening Exemptions 
• Employees who are on official duty may bypass screening by using a 
keycard-controlled entrance.
