As Director and Administrator, Robert F. Granzow III, CPP has been instrumental in developing the security function at the Office of Judicial District Security for the Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts (AOPC), spearheading significant initiatives to increase collaboration between professional disciplines in and beyond the Commonwealth’s Unified Judicial System.
The Office of Judicial District Security develops and supports strategic initiatives including, in part, a web-based incident reporting program; a vulnerability assessment program; a judicial threat management program; a security training and education program; a security project administration program; and an emergency preparedness and resiliency program. Functioning as integral components of an enterprise security management system, these initiatives markedly contribute to the safety and security of Pennsylvania’s magisterial district and common pleas courts. With an unwavering commitment to making court facilities in Pennsylvania safe places for judges, court personnel, litigants, jurors, witnesses, victims of crime and members of the public, the Office of Judicial District Security also administers legislatively allocated financial resources for court security improvements, assists judicial districts in managing effective security postures, and provides guidance in all matters related to the mitigation of existing and emerging risks.
