Good pick to assess security shortfalls
Former Waynesburg Borough police chief Tim Hawfield apparently has completed all the tasks he had in mind when he decided to retire this summer.
Last week, the Greene County Salary Board hired Hawfield as a security consultant to address concerns at various county venues.
Frankly, we know firsthand that courthouse security is seriously lacking, except when high-profile criminal cases are being tried in court. We don’t know how far Hawfield’s examination of other county buildings or facilities will go, but we expect if there are shortcomings, he will find them.
If anyone has the knowledge and experience to assess security issues, it is Hawfield.
The salary board made a good choice.
