“Residents deserve to know exactly what’s happening in their communities, as this dashboard shines a light on crime activity in Baltimore County,” Olszewski said. “We’re pleased that the dashboard shows that crime is decreasing in Baltimore County, and that Baltimore County remains a safe place to live, work, and raise a family.”
