There’s renewed concern after an audit of the Baltimore Police Department released shows a number of Baltimore's CitiWatch cameras haven’t been functioning properly for more than a year.
One man told WMAR-2 News it’s a problem the city can’t afford to leave unresolved as crime overloads officers.
A deadly triple shooting Sunday, another murder on Monday, an officer dragged by a repeat violent offender Tuesday and a stand-off with that same suspect bleeding into Wednesday afternoon, it's a trend of violence, this week alone, Baltimore police are struggling with.
A report from the office of legislative audits finds that a percentage of the cameras present when officers can’t be –simply don't work.
