RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) — Since Gerald Baker took over as Wake County’s sheriff, he says his office has been receiving far fewer calls about one specific type of crime. THE FACTS: Wake County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Eric Curry said that rate was based on the raw numbers of burglaries that reported to the sheriff’s office from Dec. 3, 2014, to Dec. 2, 2018 — when Donnie Harrison had the top job — and after Baker was sworn in on Dec. 3, 2018. A small but not insignificant part could be that the burglary totals under Harrison covered four full years while those for Harrison only covered three years and seven months — a total of 143 fewer days.
