(KLZA)--The Richardson County Commission has approved the purchase of a security camera system for the courthouse.

During their January 29th meeting, a proposal was approved from A1 Security Cameras in an amount of nearly $14,400.

The security update was prompted following a break-in of the courthouse last fall.

Sheriff Don Pounds reviewed courthouse security on court days with the Board and the possibility of allowing only one access to the Courthouse during business hours. No action was taken.
