The Baltimore Police Department is under scrutiny after allegations of under-reporting rapes.
Crime data collected by the FBI shows that Baltimore City has the largest percentage of rape cases in the country that police conclude are false or baseless.
Nearly one-third of rape cases investigated by detectives are deemed unfounded, which is five times the national average.
Baltimore's police commissioner says his department will work to improve how it categorizes and resolves rape investigations.
Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake has ordered an audit of the department's procedures and statistics.
