               Items such as illegal narcotics, firearms, knives, scissors, carpet or box cutters,
               letter openers or other edged weapons are considered contraband unless it can be shown
               that the person has a legitimate need to possess the item inside the Justice Center.

               When individuals are found with contraband, which constitutes a criminal violation,
               the items may be seized and the person taken into custody or issued a criminal citation,
               depending on the circumstances and officer discretion.

               Individuals found with items that would otherwise be legal to carry, such as small
               pocket knives or pepper spray, will be advised that they must take these items to
               their vehicles, homes or offices outside the building. The security officers will
               neither store items for any individuals nor accept them as discarded property.
