Security on West Virginia Capitol grounds a balancing act
West Virginia officials have stepped up security at the Capitol Complex with cameras, barriers, gates, and monitored entrances. The Division of Protective Services runs an armed force from a central command and uses hydraulic bollards costing about 336000 dollars. Planning updates aim to curb vehicle access while keeping the public areas open, balancing safety with access for about 4000 workers and visitors during the legislative session.
