It may be difficult to imagine now, but there was a time when the public walked into the Civic Center without much more than a once-over look from an unarmed security guard at the visitors desk. Police officers and sheriff's deputies were just down the hall in their offices, but there just wasn't a lot of thought that a citizen angry at local government might arm himself or herself and come into the Civic Center looking to do violence. It was different era.
Sadly, violent, fatal attacks in other cities — one at a City Council meeting in a St. Louis suburb — dictate now that we limit the absolute free movement of citizens, particularly at government centers where public officials have their offices and where taxpayers come to pay their bills and settle disputes.
A news report in the Sunday Courier & Press does nothing but verify the need for two security checkpoints at two entrances into the main Civic Center building installed about a year ago.
