A recent YouTube video cast a negative light on Cumberland, saying it was the 5th most unsafe city in Maryland, citing high crime numbers. WCBC Radio strives to keep the community updated daily with crime reports. WCBC receives daily reports from the City of Cumberland Police and recently the Allegany County Sheriff’s office has been sharing more information to the radio station rather than relying on social media. WCBC has also placed a call to the LaVale Barracks Commander in an effort to get state police daily reports so residents can be more informed about area incidents.
