Any ideas on how to research The Crown Court security without attracting the attention of the UK Security services?

You might just walk into a court and say to a security person, "Hi, I'm a novelist, and I would like to get some information about security in your courts. Can you help me?" The initial reaction probably will be confusion, but you probably will be referred to a higher-up. I don't know what the final result will be, but most people love to talk about what they do.

My local police station have got used to me ringing with odd questions ( not always writing related, but I say they are lol), but I think they quite enjoy the change from rounding up drunken hoodies.
There's also this about witness security.
The HMCS ( court services) might be able to help
You might also research Woolwich Crown Court which is a High Security court
Ta!
It's Newcastle's Crown Court I'm using (very handy living in Stirling!) I'll see if I can pluck up the courage when I visit in a few weeks!

It's the GC: either a Guilty Conscience or a Genuine Cause
Also, security services in the UK, while valiantly following after their American counterparts, are not nearly as wacky.
