PARAGOULD, Ark. (KAIT) - During his mayoral campaign, Paragould Mayor Josh Agee made it clear that he wanted to install more cameras at local parks and areas where crime is high.
And after just surpassing 100 days in office, the first of these new camera systems are ready to be put up.
Technical Captain Brad Snyder of Paragould Police said that the current plan is to put the cameras up at parks first, and then take care of high-crime areas afterward.
