This year was different for the Winchester City Sheriff's Office as well as everyone due to COVID-19. Many events were canceled due to the pandemic. Although the impact has been wide spread, the Joint Judicial Center has remained open every day and continues to serve the citizens of Winchester and Frederick County. As analysis and data on COVID-19 became more understood over the last year, screening procedures were updated to reflect the severity of the virus and maintain a high level of safety for those entering the JJC. Screening questions are asked prior to entry along with a temperature scan. All patrons of the JJC are required to wear mask. Mask are provided to patrons that do not have one. There are now several hand sanitizer stations available at the doors and throughout the courthouse for public use. Courtrooms and guiding procedures have been put into place so those attending court can social distance. The Winchester City Sheriff's Office continues to update procedures, thus keeping a safe environment for those visiting the Joint Judicial Center.
