Council questions security contract

Several Baltimore County Council members questioned the financial stability and experience of a protection agency their administrators chose to provide security at the county?s courthouse and two office buildings.

County staff selected Baltimore-based and minority-owned I.W.G. ProtectionAgency Inc. from among eight companies vying to replace an expired contract with the Watkins Group. But council members Tuesday said the three-year-old company may be too young and inexperienced for their comfort.
