The Mesa County Justice Center
The Mesa County Justice Center is estimated to receive nearly half a million visitors yearly. That is approximately the number of travelers passing through the Grand Junction Regional Airport checkpoints annually.
- Visitors to the Justice Center will encounter security screening very similar to what is in place at most airports.
- Signs direct visitors to the appropriate entrance to walk through a metal detector.
Metal detector screening
- All hand-carried items must be placed through an x-ray machine. When required, those items will be hand searched.
- Visitors may be requested to remove their shoes, belt, or other articles, including items in their pockets.
- This screening prevents restricted weapons or contraband from being brought into the justice center.
