“The Board of Judicial Policy and Adminis- tration has recommended that the Wyoming Supreme Court adopt Rule 107 of the Uniform Rules for District Courts of the State of Wyo- ming. The Court, having carefully reviewed the proposed rule, finds that the proposed rule on court security should be adopted. In doing so, this Court recognizes that the courts, to fulfill their constitutional duties and properly admin- ister justice, must operate in a safe and secure environment. To that end, this Court finds that the courts of this state have the inherent au- thority, and the duty, to ensure that appropri- ate courtroom security measures are in place to the guarantee the continuing viability of courts. Board of County Comm’rs v. Nineteenth Judicial Dist., 895 P.2d 545 (Colo. 1995); People ex rel. Sullivan v. Swihart, 897 P.2d 822, 824 (Colo. 1995); Epps v. Commonwealth, 626 S.E.2d 912 (Va. Ct. App. 2006); State v. Wad- sworth, 991 P.2d 80 (Wash. 2000); Halverson v. Hardcastle, 163 P.3d 428, 440-41 (Nev. 2007). “Despite such authority, the courts must op- erate within a governmental structure that balances the powers of the three branches. Under that structure, the existing statutes pro- vide that county authorities are responsible for courthouse facilities and manpower to ensure the security of courtrooms. See Wyo. Stat. Ann. § 18-2-103 (‘Each county shall provide and maintain a suitable courthouse….’); Wyo. Stat. Ann. § 18-3-604 (‘The county sheriff or his deputy … shall attend all courts of record in his county.’)” Page: 7 Date: 04/23/26 Time: 10:52:35 Style Spec Used: WY_RULES Path: @psc3913.lexisnexis.com/eden_primary/primary/WY/WYCourtRulesRV_repvol/WY_CR_UnifRDistCt_01_PREVIEW_51_psc3788_001 7 UNIFORM RULES FOR DISTRICT COURTS
