County government officials are rethinking their security procedures after a man interrupted a meeting in Morrison County and held people hostage.
Many courthouses have installed metal detectors that visitors must pass through. But most administration buildings have been left open to encourage public participation.
Jim Mulder, who directs the Association of Minnesota Counties, said many counties have older buildings with multiple doors that would be costly to secure.
He said security has been heightened at court buildings, but not in buildings where county board meetings are held.
