I would like to thank the Attorney General Brown, BPD and all of our partners for their tireless work to ensure that those who make false decisions, the consequences of their actions are confronted and continue to help us achieve historical progress in reducing violence in Baltimore. “

Their hard work and cooperation were instrumental and we will continue to work tirelessly to reduce criminal organizations and to protect the people in Baltimore. “

“This announcement is only possible through strong cooperation with the office of the General Prosecutor, the BPD and the partners in the entire judicial system. Together we share a clear, uniform message that there will be a responsibility for the transfer of violence, ”said Stefanie Mavronis, director of the mayor's mayor's office (Monse) of the mayor. “We will continue our work diligently in order to keep people with life-changing real-time interventions for people with the highest risk of participation in violence, keep it alive and free.”
