The Cameron County Commissioners in Emporium, Pennsylvania, have approved an agreement with the Federal Bureau of Investigation for rental of space on the county’s tower. “The FBI contacted the county several years ago about communications in the area,” stated Emergency Management Director Kevin Johnson. “After the [Eric] Frein search, they felt they needed better coverage. This will benefit us by giving us extra funding for improvements at the tower. They will be here tomorrow [Friday] to start installation,” The Bradford Era reported last Thursday.  Eric Frein is a captured fugitive, formerly sought by federal and state authorities for the alleged murder of Corporal Bryon K. Dickson II, an officer of the Pennsylvania State Police; and the alleged attempted murder of Trooper Alex Douglass, another state trooper in Pike County, Pennsylvania, on September 12, 2014. This incident prompted the FBI to upgrade and expand their communications equipment in Cameron County. Whittimore Tower, used for the county’s emergency communications equipment, is where the FBI has begun to install their antennas.
