Baltimore City Council Members Take Up Anti-Crime Proposal

BALTIMORE (AP) — A group of Baltimore city council members is set to discuss a proposal to require the mayor’s office to outline a crime-reduction strategy that involves multiple agencies, not just the police department.
A Baltimore City Council committee will take up the measure on Tuesday, days after the city exceeded 300 homicides for 2019.
City Council President Brandon Scott introduced the measure. He is trying to unseat Mayor Bernard “Jack” Young.
