BENTON -- The County Commission is looking into beefing up Scott County's security.

"We're looking at our camera system in the jail," Jamie Burger, presiding county commissioner, said during the regular County Commission meeting Tuesday. "It's time for it to be updated so we just wanted to see . . . the cost to include the whole county complex, possibly put (cameras) in all the county buildings."

There are five county buildings at Benton: the courthouse, Scott County Jail, the judicial building, the sheriff's office and the public administrator's office building.

Commissioners are inviting security system vendors -- and anyone else interested in the project -- to meet with them at 10 a.m. April 25.
