Moore County Manager Wayne Vest said part of the challenge is the number of buildings in the county, most notably the Old Courthouse.

A second proposal comes from SimplexGrinnell, which called for card readers on doors for employee access, as well as security cameras and monitoring systems to grant employees access to restricted areas.
