When asked if he's outraged over the recent crime in Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott answered yes.
There have been at least 25 homicides throughout the month of September and at least 250 homicides so far this year.
"Are you outraged by that? Those numbers?" questioned FOX45 News.
"Of course I'm outraged by that. I'm outraged that we find people dead in our city with ankle monitors," said the Mayor, in part.
Here, the Mayor speaking to an on-going issue happening throughout the state.
The effectiveness of home monitoring and the impact its having on crime.
Just four months ago Baltimore Police revealing the man they arrested for the murder of Baltimore City Safe Streets worker Dante Barksdale had removed his ankle monitor months before officer tracked him down.
"Clearly its not working the way it should be," said Mayor Scott, back in May.
In Anne Arundel County, the murder of a Navy Midshipman's mother.
When Michelle Cummings was shot and killed suspect Angelo Harrod was a fugitive who had escaped home confinement, twice.
"He cut the ankle bracelet off," said Chief Ed Jackson, Annapolis Police.
Then, there's the 2018 case of Dwanta Harris who was on house arrest and wearing a court ordered ankle monitor when he fatally ran down Baltimore County Police Officer Amy Caprio in a stolen Jeep.
"Our worst and most tragic case was Officer Amy Caprio," said Scott Shellenberger, Baltimore County State's Attorney.
Shellenberger has said to look at where home monitoring may be falling short would involved examining each jurisdiction.
Shellenberger told FOX45 News programs are run by county.
Former Baltimore Police Commissioner Jason Johnson says when someone escapes home confinement Departments must alert the Court, as well as police and a warrant must be issued. A process that involves time.
"Its not very quick," said Johnson.
Easy to remove? Then hard to track? Is that why this keeps happening? The questions remain.
The Mayor then speaking to the importance of collaboration.
"This is why we need to have all the agencies together," said Scott, back in May.
Scott recently brought back the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council.
The Council met about three weeks ago.
Its unclear when CJCC will meet again.
