Pennsylvania's governor-elect, Tom Wolf, plans to use his own money to rent office space for state police security officers to guard him at his private residence, according to a Wolf transition team spokesman.
We here at Security Systems News would also like to know what security technology Wolf already has in place, or will be putting in place, at his home in light of this announcement.
An Associated Press report said that Wolf, who has has declined to live at the official governor's residence in Harrisburg, will pay out of his own pocket to secure his personal residence in Mount Wolf, about 20 miles south of Harrisburg.
Wolf, who takes office Jan. 20, will personally pay the rent for space in a building across the street from his home. Wolf transition team spokesman Jeffrey Sheridan told AP that he didn't know if the security team would be allowed inside Wolf's residence when he is there.
Wolf, who reported $1.3 million in adjusted gross income in 2013, also has turned down the governor's salary of $191,000.
Security Systems News has a call in to Wolf's transition team inquiring about any security technology he may be using. Stay tuned.
