Court Security concerns

Wed Feb 28 2018
Practice support

The NSW Bar Association has established an open dialogue with the office of the Sheriff of New South Wales regarding perimeter/security screening at NSW courts. The Sheriff has advised that if members have concerns regarding their treatment by court security staff members they should report the incident directly to the Officer in Charge or Regional Manager at the time they occur, where possible.

In circumstances where immediate and direct reporting may not be possible, members may contact the Association which would be happy to assist by providing any concerns raised with it in writing to the Office of the Sheriff. Members should note that the Sheriff prefers earlier notification (same day) so that issues may be resolved at the time of the occurrence by relevant staff members at the Court. The relevant Association contact for these matters is Policy Lawyer, Ms Ting Lim (tlim@nswbar.asn.au or 9229 1739).
