SYN. NO. AGN. NO.
MOTION BY SUPERVISOR MICHAEL D. ANTONOVICH JANUARY 19, 1999
WEAPONS SCREENING AT ANTELOPE VALLEY COURTHOUSE

Recently, there was a stabbing outside the Antelope Valley Courthouse involving gang members who had just exited a courtroom hearing involving a gang violence case. The Antelope Valley Court complex is overcrowded and does not have an adequate security system. While there is a plan to install a weapons screening system, it will not be operable for several months.
I, THEREFORE, MOVE that the Board of Supervisors request the Los Angeles County Superior Court to institute interim security measures, such as assigning security to use hand held metal detector wands at Courthouse entrances, while the overall security system at the Antelope Valley Courthouse is being completed.
