SECURITY LIKELY TO BE PRIVATIZED AT RANDOLPH COUNTY COURTHOUSE

(Winchester, IN)--Randolph County leaders appear likely to hire a private company to provide courthouse security.  At a meeting earlier this week, two of three commissioners expressed support for hiring a central Indiana firm called Protection Plus to provide one armed security guard with arresting power and a second unarmed civilian guard.  Utilizing those to guards would cost the county $100 per hour.  The switch to a private firm could start as soon as June.  Commissioners will take the issue up again in a month.
