Happy Pride weekend, Baltimore! Our LGBTQ community makes our city stronger.
We must all be allies in the fight for human rights. It's a sad reality that LGBTQ people are disproportionately the victims of crime.
Understand that I have your back. No person should feel unsafe in our city because of who they love or how they identify. My office will never tolerate crimes driven by hate.

Fighting crime is truly about partnership! Crime doesn’t know or respect borders, so regardless of where the crime was committed, I will always show up when called upon by my #publicsafetypartners in order to work collaboratively to ensure every Marylander feels safe in their neighborhood #BuildingBridgesForASaferBaltimore #MarylandStrong

Reporting for duty, ready to perform my civic duty as a juror in Baltimore City Circuit Court. Yes, even the States Attorney gets to take part in this glorious process. Wondering if I’ll get picked? 🤷🏾♂️

Focused deterrence a prosecutor providing accountability… “Collaboration,” per @ivanjbates.
(And of course other truly public health measures may be unsung contributors, too: thetrace.org/2024/11/baltimo…)
Baltimore has long bucked national homicide trends. But in recent years, it's followed the rest of the nation to historic lows. For months, I've been wondering: why?
Thanks to @TheFP for letting me do this deep dive:
