Carroll commissioners approve grant for courthouse security updates, continuation of adult drug treatment court program

Window film will be installed on all public-facing windows and doors at the Carroll County Circuit Court in Westminster “to add an extra layer of security,” according to Fred S. Hecker, administrative judge for the Carroll County Circuit Court, the result of a $12,000 grant awarded to the county and accepted by commissioners Thursday. “I hope we never need it, but since they were offering, we took the opportunity,” Hecker said.
