Clallam: Video cameras to be installed at courthouse entrances

Clallam County commissioners on Tuesday accepted an agreement with Kitsap County for a homeland security grant that will add video cameras at Clallam County courthouse’s three entrances by spring 2005.

County commissioners were approached last week about entering into an agreement with Region 2 homeland security partner Kitsap County for $298,104 in federal funding.

Kitsap County is the lead agency in Region 2, which also includes Jefferson County.

Of that amount, $120,000 would be earmarked for assessing the courthouse’s “vulnerability,” and “hardening” its security by spring 2005.

That includes security cameras at the courthouse’s three main entrances — one facing East Fourth Street, one at the old courthouse facing Lincoln Street and another at the entrance to Sheriff’s Department offices at the courthouse’s east parking lot.

“It’s all part of the plan to harden the facility,” Joe Ciarlo, county emergency coordinator, said last week.
