It’s a mix of problems like not enough jobs, low pay, some people not wanting to work, more people in jail, drug issues, gangs, and being close to big cities that bring problems. We can’t know exactly why, but we do know that Ocean City is the most dangerous city in Maryland right now.
I gotta laugh, because none of the excuses applies to OC.
Who ever wrote the article , obviously , has never been there.
never the less I stay away from OC even in the daytime

Hard to compare Ocean City with a summertime daily population of over 200,000 or more to other places. When the population is 8,000 in the winter, how about using THOSE stats?
6:22 – you are EXACTLY right. Instead, OC gets an unfair rap because the writers of those articles take stats from the summer months (from all of the trash Ricky and company target for their marketing and advertising). I live in OC year round, and it is a very different town come late September through early April.
I have been saying Salisbury no 1 crime murders & break ins went up when Jake took office since his whole term & will continue to do so under Jack Heath. If you don’t believe it move in near the Salvation Army area I have lived here since 1970. Ask the SPD about the nickname for Duncan who just left she was known as “Chief Hug a Thug”. Tried to say this at AARP recent meeting where Jack Heath was speaker after taking office. Two of us were shut down & told crime was down! TRUTH.
