    It might be the security officer stationed at the only public entrance to the courthouse at the new addition on Court Street in Eagle River.
    Jerry Burkett, chairman of the Vilas County Law Enforcement Committee, told supervisors last week that an observant citizen mentioned to him the lack of protection for the courthouse security officer, who screens all persons who enter the building.
