Brown County Courthouse
(KNZA)--Security will be enhanced at the Brown County Courthouse.
The County Commission Monday approved a security plan presented by County Attorney Kevin Hill.
The plan will take effect January 1st.
As part of the plan, all those entering the courthouse will have to come through the north entrance and pass through a metal detector.
Three part-time security officers will be hired to man the courthouse during regular business hours. The security officers will be employee’s of the Sheriff’s Office.
The Commission meet in executive session with Sheriff John Merchant to review applicants for the positions. Friday was the application deadline.
In implementing the new plan, Hill noted there has been some security issues at the courthouse in the past, especially with those appearing in court.
