Governor Hogan announces plan to fight violent crime in Baltimore.

'Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan announced a package of initiatives Tuesday aimed at curbing violent crime in Baltimore — ordering increased state patrols in high-crime areas and promising an “aggressive sweep” arresting criminals wanted on outstanding warrants. . .

He reiterated his criticism that Mayor Catherine Pugh’s anti-violence plan focuses too much on providing services to young people to prevent crime in the future instead of fighting crime today.'>>>

Martin O'Malley writes (twitter) that Hogan’s new intelligence network "isn't new. It's actually the re-establishment of something he disbanded; something that worked to reduce crime to 35 year lows." And Hogan's plan does not include the community investments that O'Malley championed as mayor and current mayor Catherine Pugh champions today.
