Baltimore County Police Chief Jim Johnson said Monday, May 20 at a Greater Towson Committee town hall meeting that despite Towson’s rising crime rate, Towson and Baltimore County are safer than ever.

“We’re working closely with the Chamber of Commerce and other developers in the Towson area to build our security program to … make it an inviting place for families,” Johnson said during the meeting held at the Carver Center for Arts and Technology.
