KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- People living along 24th Street have been dealing with a high crime rate for years, but that could soon change.
Eight cameras have been installed along the street between Hardesty and Jackson avenues.
The cameras will record activity along the street, and Kansas City police can logon and view the images anytime.
Neighborhood leaders could also be allowed to take a look. Police plan to allow them to monitor the cameras by June, as long as those leaders pass background checks.
Many residents of the area said the cameras were what they'd been hoping for to help make their neighborhood safer.
Police installed similar cameras in Kansas City, Kan., in February.
