    The first working day of 1998 marked the beginning of major steps toward improved security in Kosciusko County Justice Building.

As part of the process, visitors will be asked to empty pockets of any metal objects. Anyone wearing objects that include metal such as belt buckles and steel-toed boots will be scanned with a hand-held metal detecting wand.
