Baltimore Police Commissioner Richard Worley

The minor was arrested in Washington DC without incident. Police are searching for Jovan Williams who they say may be “armed and dangerous.”

Earlier this week police identified four people in video security footage who are their main persons of interest. Police believe any of those four people could have pulled a trigger.

The vote was met with concerns from some members of the council and the public

But both council members and residents wanted to know how a longtime veteran of the force can change the department's culture. During three hours of questioning, council members repeatedly shared concerns about officer apathy and “indifference” that they’ve heard from their constituents.

Before the Baltimore City Council quizzes acting police commissioner Richard Worley about what he’d do if they confirm him to be commissioner, we ask a community advocate and The Baltimore Banner’s criminal-justice investigative reporter what the key questions are.

“The few in uniform who gamble with the credibility of the department and the integrity of my prosecutors' cases must be identified for the sake of accountability. This is critically important because of the history of Baltimore in the not too distant stain of corruption within our police department.”

“People don’t necessarily trust the police with this information.”

The meeting was supposed to give residents a chance to be heard while also being a first step towards a “community compact.”

It was the third in-person town hall where residents had a chance to ask the commissioner questions before his nomination this fall. Some were concerned that Worley has been with the department through a time when police scandals led to a federal consent decree.

One message was clear among dozens of the residents who braved the Monday night rain to meet Worley at a church in Park Heights: Baltimore needs a police force invested in its communities.
