These are the crime stats for Cecil County. They are compiled by the FBI.
I feel it is important for you to see the increase in crime in Cecil County. Yes, crime increases with the population but compare us to the other counties in the state and see that we have the highest increase in crime even compared to Baltimore City.
I want you to see these numbers right from the Uniformed Crime Reporting website so there will be no issues of someone accusing me of playing with the numbers. These numbers are reported by each police department, tallied, and maintained by the FBI.
After you see these alarming numbers, you will understand why we need to make Cecil County safe again. As your next Sheriff I will work diligently to make this happen.
