Greene County receives $85,000 in grants to help with surge in protection orders

The court applied for the grants to process the additional caseloads.

A two-year grant through the Criminal Justice Services and the Ohio Supreme Court and helped fund a new position, domestic violence and clerk liaison, to assist in processing increased filings, the court said.

Additionally, aging and outdated security equipment were replaced via a Technology Fund Grant, which helped purchased a new X-ray scanner and courtroom security.

“The grant funding helps improve the court’s function and security without burdening the taxpayers of Greene County,” the court said.
