    (Lander, Wyo.) – Fremont County Commissioners agreed to buy three new walk-through metal detectors for the county’s court facilities in both Lander and Riverton at Tuesday’s regular meeting. Cost of the three new security screening devices is $10,325.

    Chairman Travis Becker said two of the units are for use at the courthouse in Lander, and one for the Riverton Justice Center.

    “They’ll place one at the entrance lobby to the Circuit and District courtrooms, and one for the Betty Kail Courtroom, which is used when both District Court Judges in the Ninth District hear cases at the courthouse,” Becker said.
