After Eight Years the Gloucester City Police Department's Crime Report has Returned
Wednesday, January 29, 2025
EDITOR'S NOTE (January 28, 2025): This week, the Gloucester City Police Department released a new crime report. This report had been suspended for approximately eight years by Police Chief Brian Morrell and Mayor Dayl Baile. Chief Morrell explained that the report was halted due to the significant amount of time and resources required for its preparation, which made it challenging to maintain regularly.
Historically, this crime report was released to the media by every other police chief for over 50 years. It was printed in the Gloucester City News when it was under the ownership of the Cleary family. The report offered valuable insights into local crime statistics and community safety issues.
Additionally, it was accessible online through CNBNews (ClearysNoteBook), providing residents with timely information about criminal activity in their area. The revival of this report indicates a renewed commitment to transparency and community awareness in Gloucester City.
Earlier this week, CNBNews released a gripping article revealing that Gloucester City had the dubious distinction of having the highest crime rate in New Jersey and across the entire nation in 2022, as reported by the FBI. The startling statistics paint a concerning picture of safety in this urban landscape, raising questions about the factors contributing to such alarming figures.
