Stricter security at Jax City Hall

jacksonville city hall

Attention working reporters and others with laptops, cell phones, and other electronic devices in Jacksonville City Hall: expect stricter security.

We were informed today during our morning City Hall walkthrough that these devices would be checked out going forward during entrance security.

What this means, practically: have your laptops and phones powered up and in standby mode, just as one would at the airport.

This also likely will mean that smart reporters and others concerned about time management will want to arrive earlier for events, especially events that may draw a crowd, such as the Human Rights Ordinance discussion earlier this year.
