New security entrance at courthouse
MANSFIELD — Richland County Juvenile Court Judge Steve McKinley held a ribbon cutting recently to officially open the Court’s new security entrance. The Juvenile Justice Center entrance is now manned by security officers and equipped with an x-ray scanner and a metal detector.
“The Court is performing an important service in doing justice for the youth and families of our county and in making sure that our community is kept safe. To do this work effectively, the Court itself needs to be a secure place for the public to come,” said Judge McKinley in his remarks.
