Restoring Court Operations Through Reliable Security

 

Wayne County Circuit Court (WCCC), part of the Third Judicial Circuit of Michigan, is the largest circuit court in the state, handling more than 60,000 cases annually across multiple facilities.
 

Severe staffing shortages within both the court system and sheriff’s office created safety risks and prevented a return to in-person proceedings. Security gaps led to incidents, threats of violence, and delays that impacted due process. 
 

Allied Universal deployed a hybrid security model alongside the Sheriff’s Office, providing trained armed security professionals, dedicated account leadership, and full branch support. The phased rollout prioritized critical facilities, supported by ongoing coordination, training, and operational oversight.
 

Wayne County successfully reopened courtrooms and resumed in-person proceedings. The program improved safety, reliability, and staff confidence, while delivering consistent performance and flexibility to support evolving needs.
