After sitting on crime victim services report for months, Baltimore agencies reiterate promises to improve

After receiving a scathing report last summer that found victims of gun violence in Baltimore routinely suffer poor treatment from police and other agencies, city officials put their heads together and developed plans to address some of the newly uncovered issues. But another year would pass before officials told the public about the report’s findings and their ongoing efforts to improve. During a City Council hearing Thursday, leaders of the Baltimore Police Department and the Mayor’s Office of Neighborhood Safety and Engagement, among other agencies, were criticized for their handling of the assessment.
