Legislator Jon Cooper was joined by local elected officials and business
leaders, who gathered at the Huntington Station Branch of the Huntington
Public Library to voice their support for Legislator Cooper's proposed "Safe
Communities Initiative." This innovative program would install police
surveillance cameras on public streets in high-crime areas of the Town of
Huntington as a 12-month pilot program. Proponents claim that this
technology can be used successfully to deter crime and help apprehend
criminals.
