Zeroing in on quickly rising crime rates, my guests today give a front-line perspective on what's facing law enforcement and what needs to be done to enhance the safety of Arkansas citizens. In the studio I have Saline County Sheriff Rodney Wright and the former U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Arkansas, former 20th Judicial District Prosecutor Cody Hiland, along with Baxter County Sheriff John Montgomery on the phone. Visit thekimhammershow.com for more information on crime rates, prevention, gun control, capital punishment and more.
