A heavily-redacted copy of the 2012 U.S. Marshals Service’s security review of the New Castle County Courthouse in Delaware rated the building’s security as "good," but implied that the number of Capitol Police patrolling the building was insufficient. The report also lacked details about the arrangement of the lobby where the February 11 shooting occurred. Although few details were available about possible security enhancements for the lobby, Delaware Supreme Court Chief Justice Myron T. Steele denied Tuesday that the report included a recommendation to shorten the lobby by relocating the metal detectors.
Legal sibling publication Delaware Law Weekly obtained a copy of the Marshals’ report through a Freedom of Information Act request. The report was dated November 30, 2011, and included security recommendations to be enacted in 2012.
