Baltimore Police questioned in budget hearing: officer ‘indifference’ in Brooklyn shooting, citations, civilian oversight

Baltimore Police want to hire more civilians, free more police up for patrol and get officers out of their cars, engaging with the public on foot. In his first budget hearing since being tapped to lead the agency nearly a year ago, Commissioner Richard Worley echoed many of the same priorities he’s laid out since. He wants to improve community policing, an area where the department has fallen behind.
