For the increased safety of those visiting the Osceola County Courthouse at 2 Courthouse Square, Kissimmee, Florida, security screenings will be conducted on everyone gaining access to the facility. This increased security is similar to measures currently used at other county facilities. Please consider the following if you plan to visit the Osceola County Courthouse:

• Be prepared to place personal belongings (briefcases, purses, laptops, etc.) on the conveyer belt, and then walk through the metal detector.
• Anyone with an item(s) in their possession deemed as contraband by security personnel will be directed to return it to their vehicle prior to being permitted entry to the meeting site.
• Security personnel will not retain items at the access point for safekeeping. Anyone entering the controlled access point with anything deemed as contraband is subject to arrest.
• Contraband is defined as: anything prohibited by law from being introduced into a courthouse or jail facility. Examples include knives, guns, ammunitions, sharp objects that can be used as weapons, pepper spray, concealed weapons, glass containers, drugs or drug paraphernalia, lasers, large belt buckles, metal/spiked belts, etc.
