CCNO Touts Tech

While the Cor­rec­tions Cen­ter of North­west Ohio became alarmed this week at rumors Toledo and Lucas County will with­draw from the regional jail and build their own, the CCNO is now tout­ing a new upgrade to its secu­rity sys­tem that will make it a state of the art cor­rec­tions facil­ity. The com­bined part­ners in the CCNO of Williams, Henry, Ful­ton, Defi­ance and Lucas Coun­ties plus Toledo have approved 640 thou­sand to acquire new secu­rity tech­nol­ogy, includ­ing touch screen mon­i­tors to con­trol lock­ing sys­tems and inter­coms and motion acti­vated cam­eras. They say the new tech­nol­ogy will allow the staff and jail guards to respond more swiftly to any circumstance.
