In 2011, Steven Reid recalled, he was in a dark place.
Reid was running the streets, getting into trouble and planning on harming himself. He said he “didn’t want to be here anymore.” So he started dropping subtle hints in text messages.
Next, without warning, his friend, Erik Miranda, came banging on the door. He then spent the next couple of weeks looking after him.
“He kind of just showed up,” said Reid, now 28, a corrections officer who lives in York. “Literally, dragged me outside.”
Miranda was an intelligent young man, family members and friends said, and wise beyond his years. He initially aspired to become an entrepreneur but later moved toward becoming a leader in the Jehovah’s Witnesses.
York City officials eye surveillance network to combat crime
York Dispatch
Widespread video surveillance could be York City s next strategy to fight crime, Police Commissioner Michael Muldrow said Monday.
Muldrow said local private organizations are interested in raising funds for a surveillance network similar to one already in place throughout Lancaster City. Those groups would secure the funding for the camera network, Muldrow said, and an independent organization would oversee it. I think that it will quickly become an invaluable tool, that if we would be able to pull it off in York, would dramatically impact our communities quickly, Muldrow said.
