County Court Security Designated Committee Co-Chairs
The issue of court security is taken seriously in South Carolina. During the fall of 2005, all 46 counties were surveyed concerning their local courthouse security. Because different counties have different needs, each county will have a County Court Security Committee to plan and adopt security measures tailored to its needs.
The County Court Security Committee is co-chaired by the Sheriff, the Clerk of Court and either a Circuit or Family Court Judge. The following judges will serve as co-chair of their county's Court Security Committee:
