Security Check Point Added to Oneida County Office Building
Oneida County Executive Anthony Picente and Oneida County Sheriff Rob Maciol have announced that starting today, all visitors to the Oneida County Office Building will be required to pass through a security checkpoint upon entry.
Oneida County Sheriff’s Deputies will be screening all visitors at the main entrance of the 800 Park Avenue building using a magnetometer wand to stop weapons, firearms, knives, explosives, chemical sprays and unauthorized packages from being carried into the building.
“Unfortunately, we have had incidents in which potentially dangerous items and weapons have made their way into the County Office Building,” Sheriff Maciol said. “As a result, the County Executive and I have a clear and pressing need to make sure the rights of the public and the employees are kept safe and that we all look out for each other’s safety.”
Maciol says storage lockers will be provided for property that is not illegal, but is considered unauthorized.
"We appreciate the public’s understanding and patience in this matter, knowing that it is for the greater good, " said Picente
Meanwhile, Sheriff Maciol has announced the capture of another of Oneida County’s 2021 Top Ten Most Wanted.
