BALTIMORE COUNTY — The union representing Baltimore county police officers says they are frustrated with crime in the county.
But new data shows the number of murders has dropped significantly.
Thursday night they posted a tweet showing an increase in thefts and assaults, but no information about shootings because that information is not available to the public.
