SIGNAGE: THE POUCHING PROCESS

Set expectations before visitors enter the courtroom.
Post these large-format signs near building entrances, hallway checkpoints, or magnet stations to guide visitors through the phone-pouching process. Clear, visual instructions help ensure a smooth, respectful transition into a phone-free space.

Includes two printable signs optimized for 24"x36" display.

Visitors secure their phones in a Yondr pouch upon arrival.

SELF-SERVICE MODEL

Our self-service system reduces officer involvement and gives visitors device accountability. These brief videos demonstrate the courthouse entry and exit process.

Visitors unlock and return pouches before leaving the building.
