Work Progressing on Anti-Gang Center

TYLER — Officials across Smith County continue working to fund a regional anti-gang center in Tyler. According to our news partner KETK, Tyler police are now submitting documents to take the next step in the application process and then assign personnel from the department. The center will join six other “TAG centers” already in operation across the state. Chief of Police Jimmy Toler says centers such as these will not only tackle gang activity, but also organized crime such as card skimming. Smith County Sheriff Larry Smith says he hopes the center will be up and running by September.
