The city of Jonesboro will receive $3.5 million in federal funds for public safety needs related to its Real Time Crime Center. In June of 2025, the Jonesboro City Council approved $17.5 million dollars in franchise fee backed revenue bonds to invest in critical city projects as part of the Destination 100k initiative. Among the approved projects is a new facility for the E-911 / Real Time Crime Center operations. Once operational it will provide modern, divided workspaces for both E-911 dispatchers and crime center analysts. The center will also include shared conference space for crime center and dispatch personnel to interact when the need arises as well as administrative office space for both programs.
