Montgomery County will register for a security inspection with a branch of the state's Department of Homeland Security.

 

County Emergency Management Director Rick Whitson says that the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency offers a free of charge service to inspect both physical and cyber aspects of county security.

 

With the basic inspection of the Protective Security Advisor Program, Montgomery County can receive feedback on both the Courthouse and the Judicial Center.

 

Whitson says that CISA offers constructive criticism on the best possible way to protect valuable county information.

 

Additional items of note from this week's County Commissioner Meeting are the approval of three new tractors for the Public Works department, the renewal of a two year occupational license for Independence Country Club, as well as the sign off on a Neighborhood Revitalization Project at 2165 County Road 5600 in Elk City.

 

Montgomery County Commissioner meetings take place on Mondays at 9 a.m. in the lower level of the Judicial Center in downtown Independence. There will be no meeting next week, December 26th, due to the holiday. Meetings will resume on January 2nd.
