Residents: More public input needed on York City surveillance proposal
York Dispatch
York City residents on Tuesday evening cast doubt on the legitimacy of a feasibility study looking into a citywide surveillance network, citing data based on what they said was an inadequate sampling pool.
Of the nearly 44,000 residents in York City, only roughly 200 had responded to an online survey meant to gauge the community s interest in the proposal. And those numbers come as the feasibility study led by consultant Montez Parker is already half completed, he said.
Parker was hired by Better York, a nonprofit organization, to conduct the study. The organization, along with the city and the York County District Attorney s office, raised more than $30,000 for the venture.
Outside the courtroom, Rick Robinson, Jackson’s attorney, declined to comment.
Wyatt attended Cedar Cliff High School and the Cumberland Perry Area Vocational Technical School. He volunteered with the Fairview Township, New Cumberland and Lower Allen fire departments, according to his obituary.
He enjoyed hunting and fishing, working on cars and spending time with his friends and family, the obituary states.
Jackson asked the deputy sheriffs to take him back as soon as possible to the State Correctional Institution at Greene, where he’s currently serving a three- to six-year sentence for firearms offenses.
