Washington County uses the Sheriff's Dept for security. We only have 1 public entrance with a medical detector and a full time deputy at the door. All of our other doors are either emergency exits or accessed with security badges. And yes as we use deputies they are all armed.

All,
*We are seeking feedback from other counties regarding their building security practices.* Specifically, we would like to know:
- Do you have a full-time security team? - If so, are your security personnel armed? - Do you utilize metal detectors at building entrances? - Do you staff your buildings with Sheriff’s deputies or contract law enforcement?
Any information or insight you can share would be greatly appreciated as we review our own security procedures.
