LIMA — Allen County Juvenile Court has been awarded more than $21,000 in additional funding by the Ohio Department of Youth Services.
The funds will be used to upgrade, replace or purchase additional closed captioned television surveillance equipment at the Juvenile Detention Center to increase security and ensure compliance with mandates such as the Prison Rape Elimination Act.
The decision to fund Allen County Juvenile Court came after a competative bidding process related to creating juvenile detention alternatives or enhancements.
