Baltimore Crime Beat  Police and court news News Maryland Baltimore Crime Beat Federal agents meet with city homicide detectives to begin partnership B-FED task force announcement Elected officials, including the mayor, announce the B-FED taskforce outside of Baltimore City Police headquarters. This combination of Baltimore City and federal law enforcement partners will work together to fight the city's increased violence. By Justin Fenton The Baltimore Sun Crime Homicide Kevin Davis Barbara Mikulski Stephanie Rawlings-Blake U.S. Secret Service Baltimore Police Department Federal agents met with city homicide detectives, discussing cases that need extra boost. "American cities have not seen the uptick in homicides that we're seeing since 2006" Federal agents met with Baltimore Police Department homicide detectives Monday to begin a two-month partnership with the goal of curbing this summer's record pace of violence. Interim Police Commissioner Kevin Davis said the 10 agents from the FBI, Drug Enforcement Administration, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the U.S. Marshals Service and the U.S. Secret Service gathered and discussed cases in which police have identified suspects but need an extra boost to file charges. Davis huddled in Washington on Monday with police chiefs from across the country to discuss an increase in violence in several major cities. Taskforce announcement Lloyd Fox, Baltimore Sun Mayor Rawlings-Blake and other elected officials announce the B-FED taskforce. This combination of Baltimore City and federal law enforcement partners will work together to fight the increased violence in the city. Taskforce announcement Lloyd Fox, Baltimore Sun Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake and other elected officials formally announce the B-FED taskforce outside of the Baltimore City Police headquarters. "American cities have not seen the uptick in homicides that we're seeing … since 2006," Davis said Monday afternoon. "We're all at the table. Other cities are looking to Baltimore — they want to know what Baltimore is going to do about it." Baltimore has seen 192 homicides this year, after 208 killings in all of last year. Sixty percent — or 116 — of this year's killings have occurred in just the last three months. The surge followed the April death of 25-year-old Freddie Gray and the charging of six police officers involved in his arrest and transport. The three-month total is the highest in the city since at least 1970. The number of nonfatal shootings is up more than 80 percent for the year and has eclipsed the total for all of last year. lRelated FEDERAL WORKPLACE In wake of unrest, ATF puts more boots on the ground in Baltimore SEE ALL RELATED 8 Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, who cited the spike in violence when she fired Commissioner Anthony W. Batts last month, said the city has "been able to get crime surges under control in the past." "But this is different and requires a different response," Rawlings-Blake said Monday at a news conference outside police headquarters. The mayor was flanked by members of Maryland's congressional delegation, state officials, City Council members, the state's attorney and community leaders. "We need to lower the murder rate, lower the crime rate, increase the confidence level that Baltimore is a good, strong, safe city to live in, to work in, to worship in," Sen. Barbara A. Mikulski said. Authorities have for years promoted close working relationships among city, state and federal law enforcement agencies and a focus on repeat offenders. But officials say they have been working to bolster those efforts. They rolled out a "war room" last month to put police, federal agents and prosecutors together to study trends and work on cases. The B-FED task force, announced Sunday, is unique, officials say, because it will put federal agents inside Baltimore's homicide unit to work at the direction of city police. Special Agent David Cheplak, a spokesman for the ATF, said his agency contributed 12 special agents to the war room — more than any other federal agency — and is looking to add two to the new task force. "The understanding is that an agent will be partnered up with a current homicide detective, given a caseload with the goal being to clear these homicides," Cheplak said. cCommentsADD A COMMENTSEE ALL COMMENTS 27 Six of the agents now working with Baltimore police were pulled from other offices on the East Coast. Cheplak said agents are assisting in any way they can — he himself was among those helping police with controlled drug buys, surveillance and other contributions. Brian Murphy, Special Agent in Charge of the U.S. Secret Service office in Baltimore, has assigned one agent to the task force. "We're not riding along in cars," Murphy said. "We're going to provide the assistance we can provide. We may look at cases with them. If there's a lead involving financial crimes or financial activities, we'd be happy to run with that." The Drug Enforcement Administration is sending two agents; the FBI is sending one. Officials from those agencies said their personnel would serve a support role. "We've got to take a different look at things, whether it's fresh eyes or just looking at it in a different way," DEA spokesman Todd Edwards said. The FBI last week appointed a new Special Agent in Charge, Kevin Perkins, to lead its Baltimore office. Perkins, a certified public accountant, led the Baltimore office from 2004 to 2006. Mikulski said the federal agencies have resources such as crime labs and gun-tracing capabilities that can help Baltimore police investigations. "We've got the whole country on the side of Baltimore now," Mikulski said. Rep. Elijah E. Cummings warned that police can't quell the crime without the community's help. "The police need the community, and the community needs the police," Cummings said at the news conference. "I've stopped by here to beg the public to cooperate with police, because when you stand back and don't do anything, all you do is allow a murderer to go out there and do it again." Cummings alluded to the protests against police brutality that followed Gray's death. "I hear over and over and over again, 'Black Lives Matter,'" he said. "And they do matter. But black lives also have to matter to black people." State's Attorney Marilyn J. Mosby pointed to a handful of recent high-profile convictions as evidence that her office is "no longer going to tolerate" killings. She spoke about the killing of 1-year-old Carter Scott, which resulted in the conviction of one man and a hung jury for four co-defendants. Davis was asked by a reporter how officials can assure residents that they are on top of the crime problem, given what has happened during the spike. "We refuse to tread water," he said. "We're going to lead the pack. The nation is undergoing a surge in homicides, and it's our expectation that before very long, people will look to Baltimore to see how we fought out of it." jfenton@baltsun.com Copyright © 2015, The Baltimore Sun ----------------------------- YouTube - by W.I.s.e. http://youtu.be/1Xm-9mOxnbA/ |

BALTIMORE HITS GRIM MILESTONE OF YEAR’S 200TH HOMICIDE by BREITBART NEWS 10 Aug 2015 BALTIMORE (AP) — Eight months into the year, Baltimore’s homicide count has hit 200. August’s 11th slaying, the fatal shooting of a man Monday, pushed the city’s homicide total to 200 – a dramatic rise from 2014, when the city saw 211 killings for the year. This grim milestone comes on the heels of another: with 45 homicides in July, Baltimore saw its bloodiest month since 1972. Killings began to spike dramatically in May, with 42 in a single month. There was a brief dip in June, with 29, then another rise in July. The uptick comes after rioting in the spring over the death of Freddie Gray, the black man critically injured in police custody. The rise has prompted interim Police Commissioner Kevin Davis to form a task force with 10 federal agents imbedded with homicide detectives.

Hell, FBI Agents have more training then Local and State law enforcement. First they HAVE to have at least a 4 year degree, then they have to complete the FBI Academy which is longer then any civilian police academy, then they have to complete their additional training then they can be a probational Agent then after field training they can become a field Agent.

Yea... we seen her rules, telling the cops to stand down, they denying it, then calling for a curfew, she didn't have the authority to do. Then the governor ... finally took over, declared a state of Emergency. Then Obama &The Feds took over, not by request. Marshall law for a week.Black choppers, much longer. Then the now " Mayor of Mayors", tried to blame the police chief, fired him & hired her husband's friend. And he has only small town experience. Homicide rate actually rose. Soon... rewind, repeat, esculate.
