BALTIMORE (WJZ)– Last week the Baltimore police commissioner was fired up at a press conference, Wednesday, the mayor responded to those who are lashing out at her. They say she doesn’t take the violence seriously.
Mayor Catherine Pugh says every time there’s a shooting or murder, her phone rings, and it couldn’t be more disturbing.
Pugh says they’re moving the hiring process along as fast as they can with officers but the City might not feel the impact until next year.
The department said once officers make it through the academy, they are immediately deployed to foot patrol in various communities, including the Inner Harbor.
“Anyone who thinks that I don’t take this seriously or it’s not something alarming to me, this is the most important thing we can do in this city and that’s to reduce the violence,” Pugh said.

Hire white cops. The black on black crime rate there is too high.
The first true statement I have heard from her. She IS very disturbed.
Where's Robocop when you need him?
I guess taking the statues down didn't solve anything?
They like to make it seem as though they have a police problem. Not enough police or bad police. The problem in Baltimore is they have a population made up of criminals. Hmmmm reminds me of the direction Salisbury is headed.
First of all Catherine Pugh can't stand police officers so the loss of one of her own detectives didn't even phase her. It was an outright slaughter of an 18 year veteran of the force and she seems Ok with it.
you made your bed, now lay in it.
They can't have enough police, let alone hire as many as they need.
to funny sad for the kops but Baltimore actually has let this happen. who in their right mind would want to be a kop there?
the Balt Mayor got one thing right , she is disturbed! Another entitled black woman
Yeah, hiring cops that are not required to pass the exam to become one. She is hiring thugs to be cops to patrol their fellow thugs. As long as it is thugs committing the violence she could care less. "They just getting theirs."
