First Amendment Audits
by Frank Hatfield April 21, 2023

April 21, 2023

Over the last few years citizen activists have been conducting "First Amendment Audits" with increasing frequency. This phenomenon does not appear to be led by an organization; rather, audits are conducted by individuals interested in videoing law enforcement and other public officials and offices. Although conducted by individuals, organizations such as the ACLU provide guidance and encourage First Amendment audits. (See ACLU: https://www.aclu.org/know-your-rights/protesters-rights/#i-want-to-take-pic….) Frequently, these video audits are posted online and, if a perceived First Amendment violation occurred, the videos are the basis for a civil lawsuit. Now is a good time to review and update or create, if necessary, your County's protocol with regard to citizens videoing County operations. Fortunately, counties and public offices, such as Union County, have prepared well to withstand a "First Amendment" without incident. Union County, specifically Sheriff Patton, was kind enough to share the attached memorandum regarding recent "First Amendment Audit" activity and permit it to be distributed by CORSA broadcast email. Thank you Union County. The attached is not legal advice nor should it be construed as such. Should you require a legal opinion please contact your Prosecutor's Office or legal counsel.

Emergency Evacuation Procedure Inquiry
by Noel, Erica Oct. 30, 2020

Oct. 30, 2020

Good Morning, Wood County is in the process of updating its emergency evacuation procedures. Currently, our practice is to meet in one location when evacuating the building. We are contemplating amending that and having employees disperse to two or three different locations within a block or two of the courthouse. The logistics of this method are more complicated than simply meeting in one location. How do employees check in? How do you verify that everyone has safely exited the building without relying solely on security sweeping the building? Any advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Erica Noel Risk Coordinator Wood County Commissioners' Office P: 419-354-9199 F: 419-373-4998 enoel(a)woodcountyohio.gov
