VALLEJO, CA – On February 6, 2023, the City of Vallejo will begin welcoming guests to City Hall on the First Floor, West Entrance of the building (accessed from the parking lot area between City Hall and the JFK Library). Visitors will now be guided through our new state-of-the-art metal detection system, and bags will be passed through an inspection x-ray machine. Much like traveling through airports, other municipalities, and the courts, these additional security measures are for the safety and peace of mind of our residents, visitors, and everyone in attendance at City Hall.
All members of the public will be required to enter City Hall through the first-floor security checkpoint.
Visitors who are unable to pass through the metal detection system for medical or other purposes can request to have security pass over them with a metal detection wand.
If either security system detects any areas of concern, visitors will be asked to empty their pockets or waistbands.
Items prohibited in City Hall include items listed in penal code section 171(b), the Vallejo municipal code, and Vallejo city council and administrative policies. These items include but are not limited to the objects identified below:
- Firearms and guns;
- Flammable or Explosive Materials;
- Club like items;
- Sharp-edged objects more than 2 inches long;
- and other weapons and chemicals.
Regulatory Information regarding the new metal detection entry point system: The City has been informed by the manufacturer that the PD6500i system in place meets U.S. and international regulatory requirements for electromagnetic safety. However, directives by physicians and medical device manufacturers regarding metal detectors should always be followed.
