There is no easy solution to solving crime in Berks County.

That was the consensus reached by the more than 100 in attendance at the Crowne Plaza in Wyomissing on Jan. 18 for the Berks County and Greater Reading Crime Summit.

The two-hour, closed-door summit, which drew Governor Tom Corbett and U.S. Senators Patrick Toomey and Robert P. Casey Jr., was a collaboration of local, state and federal officials along with area business leaders brought together to discuss effective solutions to combat violent crime in the county.
