(KLZA)--The Richardson County Commission approved a resolution Tuesday that will allow the sheriff to hire an additional deputy.
The need for the additional deputy comes from a request for security at the Courthouse.
The District Court has requested a deputy provide security when court is in session.
The county is also considering other security measures—including new security cameras, a deputy on duty when the courthouse is open and possibly dedicating one entrance for the public.
