SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — Entertainment venues in Sioux City are planning to add walk-through metal detectors to enhance security, saying such measures are becoming standard across the country. The Sioux City Journal reports that the city’s proposed fiscal 2018 capital improvements budget includes $100,000 for walk-through metal detectors at the Tyson Events Center as part of the venue’s maintenance improvements. The expense is expected to cover 10 to 12 detectors to place at the venue’s entrance.

Events facilities director Erika Newton says staff currently use wands to check for security. The department may need to hire more security staff since the metal detectors would likely slow the rate of entry.

The Orpheum Theatre board of directors is also considering walk-through detectors for events and plans to purchase them at the same time in order to save money on a bulk purchase.
