While those numbers are horrendous, it would be interesting to see the crime numbers for the greater metropolitan area including Salisbury. As we all know, the city/county line is imaginary and there is probably over 65,000 people living in and around the city. Then compare those to the other metropolitan areas. That being said, the city numbers are just dreadful and an embarrassment to our city

If this is questional information, the Mayor,Chief, and Daily Times needs to dispute it. The Daily Times should be mandated to print this if this is accurate. This shows they have absolutely no respect for the citizens of this community.

If one takes this at face value then all the Mayor's and Chief's arguments are a moot point.

It seems like both "sides" are grasping for ANY kind of report that will reflect "their" agenda and then they are exploiting it for political purposes. I mean, really, how can Mr. Comegeys state how "safe" Salisbury is with these kind of statistics. At the same time, Mr. Ireton can use this report to make his "call to action" loud and clear and give him political "points".

Soooooo the candidates then keep their eyes open for "reports" that they could "spin" into a favorable light. This is pure politics. I would much rather have somelike like Mike Lewis or Davis Ruark discuss the statistics instead of politicians. Respectfully submitted by a concerned citizen

It's the real deal -- Salisbury is among the highest in crime per capita in Maryland and nationally!

Mr./Ms. 9:17:

The Tilghman Times will never report real world data like this.

Hey Barrie & Gary --

Blame it on the bloggers, "Dirty Dozen" and "CAVE people" -- and that includes eveyone in Salisbury except you and a few remaining FOB's.

Mare and chief what's so hard to understand about this??? Maybe she should swing into North Salisbury elm. school on her way home I'm sure they have a 1st grader who'd be happy to explan it to her..

WOW, higher in areas than Baltimore. That must be it, the Chief wanted Salisbury to feel more like home to him so He let the crime get out of control like Baltimore.

Good Job Chief... Suspend a few more people and it surely will help....

Even the media knows Barrie is full of poo. The lead in by the anchor woman on Fox 21 (WBOC) at 5 started it off with "Mayor Tilghman held a press conference today for the sole purpose of slamming a mayoral candidate." I don't know her name but she is to be commended for finally taking a stand against this evil woman and smear tactics.

Once again Barrie makes a fool of herself, in public. How proud her husband and children must be.

Does anyone have the audio or text of the WBOC piece or know who did it -- somebody deserves to be complimented!

Ms. Harrington is easily the best reporter in Salisbury's MSM. The competition ain't much but she is very good.

The lead in anchor was Alice Bavis on WBOC/FOX21

Mayor and Webster calling the FBI liars.

I guess Webster will have these reporters investigated next. That's what he does when someone pi$$es in his cornflakes. Go back to Baltimore you moron. You have overstayed your welcome here.

Go Ireton!!!!!!!!

Let's just hope they contact Mark McIver and get the REAL numbers. He's an expert at this stuff.

Actually, I just got off the phone with them and they're calling him right now. Two points of view are better than one, I always say.
