At fifth town hall, Baltimore residents prod at police commissioner nominee’s history with department

At a town hall-style meeting on Thursday evening, Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott and his pick for the city’s top police post, Richard Worley, fielded questions scrutinizing the latter’s time with the department, probing how the candidate can reform the agency from the inside. Speakers at the community engagement meeting prodded at the 25 years Worley has worked for the Baltimore Police Department, a period when several of the agency’s internal scandals and unconstitutional policing practices came to light.
