Court Security

After reading about the incident in Georgia it got me thinking. Court security in Massachusetts is a joke. The only armed people in the building are the police officers who are their with cases. I even know a few officers that don't carry when they have court. I think it is time to have armed personnel assigned to the court houses. I think this would be a sensible duty for the Sheriffs. This is not meant as a joke so lets not turn this into a shit storm that gets the topic locked.

Right after 9-11 when the courts installed the metal detctors and hired people to man them there was also a program to train and arm the court officers,
but due to the budget it was never put into place
and there was never any training given.
