Mayor W. Reed Gusciora earlier called for the county to look into security breaches at the arena, saying officials must ensure adequate training for all county personnel "who operate a metal detector." Gusciora vowed additional security for the first round of the NJSIAA tournament on Tuesday at Trenton Central High School.
