LAUDERDALE COUNTY SHERIFF DEPUTIES WILL SOON BE HANDLING SECURITY FOR THE COURTHOUSE STARTING IN MID JANUARY.  ACCORDING TO THE TIMES DAILY, THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS RECENTLY AGREED  NOT TO RENEW THEIR CONTRACT WITH DYNAMIC SECURITY CITING THE NEED FOR INCREASED SECURITY AS THE REASON FOR THE CHANGE AND BELIEVES THIS CAN BE DONE BY HAVING FULL TIME TRAINED DEPUTIES INSTEAD.  IN ADDITION, MONEY HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE SHERIFF'S BUDGET TO ADD A BAILIFF IN THE FAMILY COURT AND OTHER COURTROOMS.  VISITORS OF THE COURTHOUSE SHOULD SEE SOME CHANGES AFTER JANUARY 12TH.
