Baltimore County police officials say they developing new approaches toward juvenile crime, from getting churches involved to starting a summer camp designed to attract youths to law enforcement careers. "We all know what we are dealing with, as far as the numbers show," said Col. Kim Ward, who as of Dec. 1 oversees the new Community Resources Bureau, which will focus on preventing juvenile crime. "We are trying to make sure that violent juvenile crime numbers don't continue to increase," she said. "It's not something we want to stick our heads in the sand about."
