Barberton Installing New Security System At Courthouse/city Hall

BARBERTON: The building shared by Barberton Municipal Court and Barberton City Hall is getting something many of its contemporaries have had for years: A security system at the entrance.The nearly $100,000 project is currently being installed. When it becomes functional next month, it will include a walk-through metal detector, an x-ray machine for bags,and an employee key card system.Court administrator Robert Incorvati said as a former attorney and prosecutor, it was rare that he encountered a courthouse without at least metal detectors at the front door.“When I was in private practice, I had not run into many,” he said.Less common are x-ray machines used to scan purses and briefcases.
