Sheriff asks for courthouse security fence; commissioners approve

Sheriff Cheney asked the board to approve a security fence at the rear of the Camden County courthouse, saying the work was funded in FY2026 from the jail and staffing allocation and intended to provide an "extra layer of security for the judges and the staff" during high-profile cases. "I'm asking for your approval for that tonight," the sheriff said, explaining the fence would supplement an existing small gate and enhance protection for on-site personnel.
