In the Southeast, there has been an undeniable uptick in crime. Many residents are fighting back against this through a community safety seminar series that outlines the best ways to prevent crime from happening, starting at home. The first event was on Wednesday, November 18 at St. Elizabeth Church at 2638 E. Baltimore St. “We just wanted to have something that people can do and a better way for people to connect,” said Chris Beall, one of the event’s organizers. Beall presented a list of the most important, and sometimes the most basic, safety precautions one can take. They are listed as follows. CONTINUED ON PAGE 18

Officer charged with killing dog last summer is acquitted by GIANNA DECARLO

EDITOR@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM

In June of 2014, the Southeast community was shocked when a Baltimore City Police officer was arrested after allegedly slitting the throat of an escaped dog. He faced charges of animal cruelty, mutilating an animal, and misconduct while in office. On Thursday, November 19, Officer Jeffrey Bolger, a 20 year veteran of the force, was acquitted of all charges in the death of Call me today to hear about these optional features: New Car Replacement, Accident Forgiveness and Deductible Rewards.

Nala, a 7-year-old Shar-Pei. Baltimore Circuit Court Judge Melissa Phinn said she couldn’t charge Bolger due to insufficient evidence and conflicting statements from the state’s witnesses. Phinn also said the dog was dangerous and that the officers acted in the public’s best interest. According to the veterinarian that performed the necropsy, Nala died from bleeding out after Bolger slit her neck as she was restrained with a dog pole. Prosecutors said Bolger did this in a fit of rage. However, Bolger’s lawyer, Steven Levin, argued that the dog had already strangled itself while struggling against the pole and that Bolger was trying to humanely euthanize Nala. “We are very grateful that the court based its decision on the facts, not rumors and gossip that spread on social media, but the facts presented at trial,” said Levin. Phinn agreed and said Bolger was just acting in the dog’s best interest while acknowledging that the verdict wouldn’t be popular. She also cited a statement from the city’s medical examiner that said Nala was already dead before Bolger cut her neck. On June 14, 2014, Nala escaped from her

because a dog is lost and acting out of fear does NOT mean that they deserve to die. A scared dog does not equal a dangerous dog and a Shar-Pei produces so much saliva by nature that to be ‘foaming at the mouth’ is completely common for that breed and does not mean they have rabies. For these various reasons, I am beyond frustrated. I know the truth though and will remember my beloved Nala forever.”

Nala was allegedly aggressive and foaming at the mouth when officers arrived at the scene at the 700 block of South Grundy St. After the incident, Bolger was suspended without pay. When the acquittal was announced, many people expressed their anger, especially on social media, and said the ruling was unfair and a step back for those fighting against animal cruelty. Gossard is “frustrated” and exhausted after this 17-month long process and hopes that Nala’s death isn’t in vain. “I am heartbroken to say that the Judge found Bolger not guilty today. I am devastated and very emotional... I do believe that just because this Judge didn’t find the evidence sufficient, that doesn’t mean that he didn’t kill her. I don’t feel that justice was served, but I can only hope that Nala’s death has raised animal cruelty awareness. I would never want anyone to go through what I’ve been through,” wrote Gossard on the Facebook page, Justice For Nala. “Just

Taxi industry takes on Uber with Easy Taxi app by GIANNA DECARLO EDITOR@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM

It’s hard out here for a taxi driver. With the rise of Uber, Lyft, and other rideshare programs, fewer and fewer people are using traditional taxi services to get where they need to go. To combat this, local taxi companies have banded together to create their own app called Easy Taxi. The app allows a user to order a taxi from a company and track it in real time. Easy Taxi has approximately 17 million users and 400,000 taxis from over 30 countries in its directory. Easy Taxi has been available in Baltimore City for over a year. “We’ve been forced to match the technology,” said Albert Gabriszeski, the general manager of Red Ball Taxi Cab Association, one of the services on Easy Taxi. “We want to give a more efficient service and it is our way of combating against the Uber situation.” Gabriszeski has been in the taxi industry for decades and is very critical of Uber and services like it. He said that they “skirted the law” by not ensuring that their drivers have taxi licenses. In April, Maryland lawmakers approved legislation that categorized ride-share companies as “transportation network services (TNS)” that are separate from taxi services. These laws created the framework of regulations, which included routine criminal background checks and mandatory registration with the Maryland Public Service Commission, for TNS. These regulations are too lax, according to Gabriszeski. “The state’s trying have their cake and eat it too. They want heavily regulated taxis with set rates, and, on the other hand, they helped organize taxi hacking which they consider legitimate with little to no regulation,” he said. “The government is making us compete with an illegitimate company. This is like watching baseball and the officials are only watching my team. The other team can do whatever they want and the officials just turn their backs to it. They got us in a fight with our hands tied behind our back. We can’t compete with that.” Taxi companies are suffering, he added. He said they are losing over half their clientele and that the taxi industry has been “decimated.”

“It’s not an easy game, it’s rough, rough, rough...” he said. Still, he said people are growing disillusioned with Uber. “People are starting to turn around, they’re realizing it’s not such a great deal especially when the TNS hits them with the surge pricing,” said Gabriszeski. When demand is heavy, ride-share companies often increase their fares, sometimes up to 10x. He said taxis aren’t allowed to charge surge prices as their rates are set by their own set of regulations. Gabriszeski’s Red Ball Taxi teamed up with Diamond Cabs to provide service to Baltimore City through Easy Taxi. Red Ball, he explained, covers mostly the east side, while Diamond covers the west side. “We have about, combined, 250 cabs on the app’s service. It locates where you are with a GPS and then sends the closest cab in the area to you. It’s the way to order to get the quickest taxi service,” he said. He said the service differs from Uber and the like because the drivers are licensed and trained. Also, the cabs are insured and owned through the companies instead of being the driver’s personal car.

On Sunday, November 15, Joshua Harris, a community organizer, announced his run for mayor. Harris is the co-founder of Hollins Creative Placemaking, a non-profit that focuses on rehabilitating the Hollins Market community through urban art and economic redevelopment. “Baltimore is for all of us. I believe that we should all have the opportunity to provide our children with a decent education. I believe that all workers deserve an opportunity to earn a decent wage and provide for their families. I know that the chances of that happening are more likely if we unite to fight for those opportunities,” said Harris in a statement. Harris said he will work to reinvest and improve the public school system, as well as help eliminate educational disparities between students. He added he will work towards public safety reform using the knowledge he obtained while working as a legislative aide for Delegate Charles E. Sydnor. “From turning vacant houses into homes, to

David Warnock

On Monday, November 23, David Warnock, a businessman and venture capitalist, also announced his mayoral bid. At a press conference in Lexington Market, Warnock said he would “turn around” Baltimore through his leadership. He called the election one of the most important elections of the generation. Warnock was inspired to join the mayoral race after April’s unrest. “The people involved in the uprising were looking to be heard, they were looking to have a future, they were looking for some economic stability, they were looking for a place to work. When I saw our city erupt last spring, I knew I had to do more,” he said. Warnock is the former chairman of the Greater Baltimore Committee and the Center for Urban Families. He said that more investment needs to be provided to technology start-ups to encourage innovation and more education and job opportunities. “If you think about the programs I’m talking about — economic inclusion, creating jobs, focusing on education, the things I’ve dedicated my life to — those aren’t black or white issues. Those are issues that are driving Baltimore forward.”

Warnock founded the Warnock Foundation, a philanthropic organization focused on social innovation and Green Street Academy, a charter school in West Baltimore. For more information on Warnock’s campaign and platform, visit www. davidwarnockforbaltimore.com. Harris and Warnock are respectively the 12th and 13th democrats to enter the mayoral race. They will face off this April against a wide field of candidates including former mayor Sheila Dixon, councilman Carl Stokes, and community servant Elizabeth Embry.

Light City Baltimore aims to illuminate the Inner Harbor through art, technology, and music by GIANNA DECARLO EDITOR@BALTIMOREGUIDE.COM

“By pairing artists with communities, neighborhoods across the city will light up with artwork created with, for and by Baltimore City residents. Projects can include but are not limited to: large scale projections, shop window-based projections and installations, illuminated public sculptures or monuments, performances, celebrations and new traditions that integrate light, creative uses for everyday lights such as string lights, and/or full-scale neighborhood installations. Neighborhood Lights works directly with Light City Baltimore’s core values of transformation, community engagement, sustainability, and collaboration,” states BOPA in a press release. BOPA is partnering with Kaiser Permanente Mid-Atlantic for Light City Teen Scholars, a program that will provide job and internship opportunities for Baltimore’s youth. There will also be a conference called

Last week, the Baltimore Office of Promotion & the Arts (BOPA) announced Light City Baltimore, a large-scale weeklong light festival featuring artists from all over the world. Light City will be held in the Inner Harbor from March 28 to April 3, 2016. It will include free pop-up exhibits, 29 original light displays, interactive visual art (including a 20-foot animatronic peacock), and musical performances from local favorites like Dan Deacon. “The quality and creativity of the art are beyond description. The scale and interactive elements incorporated into the art, which will be installed along a 1.2-mile art walk stretching from Harbor East to Federal Hill, establishes this event as a true pioneer in its space,” said Bill Gilmore, the executive director of BOPA. The Light City festival will feature the Neighborhood Lights community arts initiative, where artists from five different

neighborhoods will come together to create a public art project. The five featured neighborhoods are Coldstream Homestead Montebello/Lake Montebello, Hampden, Greater Mondawmin, Little Italy and Station North Arts and Entertainment District. The project will be fully funded up to $10,000. Applications are online at the Light City Baltimore website and the deadline to apply is December 14. “Baltimore is a diverse city of artists, entrepreneurs, musicians, educators, innovators and more. Although we have challenges, our city is filled with talented people living and working here every day. Light City Baltimore will showcase the reach and depth of Baltimore’s creative communities,” said Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake in a statement. Two-thirds of the artists will be from Baltimore, but there will also be presentations from artists and musicians from other states and countries.

Light U, which will bring together innovators from all parts of the world to discuss how technology can enact social change. Light City Teen Scholars is currently accepting nominations for high school sophomores and juniors. Those chosen will participate in a 6-week paid internship and skill-building workshops through Kaiser Permanente and a part-time job with Light City Baltimore in March. They’ll also receive a $1200 scholarship for education. The festival is expected to bring in approximately 350,000 visitors. Tourism officials hope that it will make $4 million for Baltimore through private donations. Its premise was inspired by the “Vivid Sydney” festival in Australia, which draws over a million attendants every year. Organizers say this will be the first festival of its kind in the United States. For more information on Light City Baltimore and its other program, visit www. lightcity.org.

Small Business Saturday challenges us to shop local During the gift-giving season, it’s always tempting to visit a big-box-mega-super-store to do your shopping. But Saturday, November 28 is Small Business Saturday, an opportunity to support local small businesses while checking items off your holiday wishlist. When you shop small, you’re not just helping a business, you’re helping a neighbor. Highlandtown Main Street is kicking off the day with a neighborhood breakfast at Hoehn’s Bakery at 400 S. Conkling St. Enjoy a free cup of High Grounds coffee and take home a tote bag filled with pastries from the bakery from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. “What we’re really asking everybody to do throughout the day is to participate in the Shop Local Challenge,” said Amanda SmitPeters, the manager of Highlandtown Main Street with the Southeast Community Development Corporation. Smit-Peters explained the Shop Local challenge is a way to get people to break their traditional shopping habits and get them into local businesses. For the challenge, you have to enter five local businesses to be eligible for a raffle for a tote bag filled with goodies from the neighborhood’s favorite locally-owned establishments. Bring page 7 of this week’s Baltimore Guide to the businesses you attend and they will stamp the form. That page also has some suggested shopping routes. Drop off the completed page at Hoehn’s to have a chance to win.

“Although, ideally we want people to go to all the businesses. If we’re not supporting our local businesses, who is? We asked, ‘how can you change one of your shopping patterns to focus it into shopping in the neighborhood?’ and this is a way to do that,” said Smit-Peters. She also spoke about another challenge, the “Buy Our Balls” challenge. Smit-Peters is encouraging people to shop local when buying gifts for toy drives. She said charities often ask for sporting equipment and items like soccer balls for the children that local businesses like Sneaky Feet at 3223 Eastern Ave. can provide. “There’s a lot of great gifts out there that are perfect for mom, or somebody at the office, or your boss, or even yourself.” The day isn’t only about shopping. The Highlandtown Train Garden opens for the season that Saturday and will even have a special visit from Santa himself. There will also be a reopening celebration for Highlandtown Jewelry at 3210 Eastern Ave. which was damaged during April’s riots. “We really have a lot of wonderful places to shop in the district. Come out, get some free stuff and come shopping with me at Main Street,” said Smit-Peters. So, pick up stocking stuffers at the Highlandtown Pharmacy and Family Dollar or sample delicious eats at RoofTop Hot and DiPasquale’s Italian Marketplace, to support your community and neighbors for Small Business Saturday.

New businesses open as old favorites close BY GIANNA DECARLO

Just like how fall turns into winter and sunshiney days turn into snow storms, the businesses within the Southeast are constantly changing. Many new businesses have opened their doors to the community this month. For example, Snake Hill, a bar and grill, opened two weeks ago in Highlandtown at 418 S. Clinton St. Snake Hill serves artisan gourmet sausages from local vendors, such as Polock Johnny’s. Their fare is above and beyond traditional sausage. On the menu are unique options like venison, wild boar, and even rabbit-rattlesnake sausage. Snake Hill also has a full-service beer bar with dozens of libation options. Snake Hill is owned by Rich Pugh, who also runs Johnny Rad’s Pizzeria Tavern. For more information on Snake Hill, visit www.snakehillbaltimore.com. So you’ve binged on sausage and beer and now you’re craving something lighter. Sweetgreen, a salad bar which opened earlier this month at 1309 Fleet St. can help satisfy your veggie cravings. One of Sweetgreen’s values is that meals are always

prepared fresh in house with organic, seasonal, and locally-sourced ingredients. “We source local and organic ingredients from farmers we know and partners we trust, supporting our communities and creating meaningful relationships with those around us. We exist to create experiences where passion and purpose come together,” states the Sweetgreen website. For more information, visit www. sweetgreen.com. We announced the pending arrival of Iron Rooster at the former Farmstead Grille location in Canton Crossing several weeks ago. Iron Rooster, known for its homemade “pop-tarts” and all-day brunch at its Annapolis location, held its soft opening last week. It is expected to open for all-day service this week. Along with these openings are a few closings. The first is Poncabird Pub, a 30-year-old bar at 1719 Poncabird Pass which closed its doors on Sunday, November 15. The popular American tavern was a neighborhood favorite, serving classics like burgers, ribs, crab cakes, and orange crushes. Many people expressed sadness over this, saying they had

visited and created memories at the Poncabird for decades. Another shock came when the Canton Club Health & Fitness, a 10,000 squarefoot gym on the Canton waterfront, announced that it will close on Tuesday, December 15. “The last 12 years have been an unexpected business adventure for us and we are very proud of the services and dedication that our Canton Club family has been able to provide for the members of this wonderful community. Unfortunately, the business is no longer financially viable due to evolving market conditions over time. We have thoroughly enjoyed serving your fitness needs, and being a part of the revitalization of our Southeast Baltimore neighborhood,” stated the Canton Club website. Canton Club was known for unique fitness options, like rock climbing and aerial yoga. While the closings are disappointing, it also highlights the importance of supporting your local small businesses! We want to keep these establishments around and your patronage is crucial in making that happen. Go to page 7 to learn more about Small Business Saturday.

CRIME BLOTTER Source: Baltimore City Police Department Southeast District

This is all the information available at press time. Visit our website for an update later this week.

ROBBERY: S. Wolfe St., unit block, November 16 at 7:05 p.m. The victims were getting inside their car when the suspect, a 20 year-old AfricanAmerican male, approached them with a small black handgun and said “Give me what you got.” The victims then took out their wallets and threw out their money. S. Bond St., 200 block, November 17 at 6:19 p.m. Victim was Comcast Cable. The suspect, an African-American male, came up behind a Comcast worker who was putting his tools in his work vehicle. The suspect placed a hard object into his back which the victim assumed was a gun. The suspect said “Don’t move” and removed his work cell phone, money, gas card, and a cable meter. S. President St., 700 block, November 17 at 1:48 p.m. The victim was walking when he was approached by three African-American males between 16-20 years-old, one of which was wearing a ski mask. They all started to talk when the victim became nervous and walked away. The suspects stopped him and said “Give it up, I’ve got brass knuckles” and then punched him and took his phone. The victim handed them his necklace. A canvas of the area didn’t locate the suspects. S. Conkling St., unit block, November 17 at 10:50 p.m. The first suspect, a 34 year-old African-American male, arrived at the victim’s house and accused her of setting up her friend to get arrested. The victim went outside and the suspect took her phone and told the other suspects, 3-5 African-American females, to beat her. While they were punching her, she fell to the ground. Later, she noticed money missing from her pockets. E. Fayette St., 2000 block, November 17 at 6:06 p.m. The suspect, two AfricanAmerican juvenile males and one AfricanAmerican juvenile female, snatched the victim’s phone from his hands. Two of the suspects placed knives against his lower

abdomen and stomach but did not cut him. One of the suspects went into his pockets and took money. During an area canvas, two of the suspects were arrested. None of the property was recovered. BURGLARY Stiles St., 900 block, between November 15 at 10:20 p.m. and November 16 at 7:30 a.m. The victim was asleep when an unknown suspect entered the house through an unlocked front door. The suspect took money from a wallet, a check, and the spare keys to a 1999 silver Mercedes 300 with the MD tag 7EPA49. The suspect then took the vehicle. S. Patterson Park Ave., 600 block, between November 15 at 8:30 p.m. and November 16 at 7:30 a.m. An unknown suspect pried open the front door to the house which was under renovation. The victim discovered the front door and garage open. Taken from the property was a large number of tools, a black road bike, and antique toys. During an area canvas, a neighbor reported hearing people talking overnight. E. Lombard St., 1700 block, November 17 at 9:30 p.m. An unknown suspect used a shovel to force open the door frame and took a gas trimmer. E. Baltimore St., 2100 block, November 17 at 2:40 p.m. An officer responded to the location for a silent alarm call and found the rear door frame damaged. The unknown suspect took an HP laptop, a jewelry box, and two watches, then escaped through the damaged door. S. Patterson Park Ave., 500 block, November 17 at 2:20 p.m. The person who reported the burglary was working on the house when he heard someone on the first floor of the building. When he investigated, he saw the suspect, an African-American male, getting on a bus with two drills and a grinder. For more crime visit www.baltimoreguide.com

CAUTION: DPW IMPOSTERS This week, the Department of Public Works sent an alert

that warned residents of people impersonating DPW officials. An incident occurred in Northeast Baltimore when two suspects staged a home invasion by pretending to be workers from the water department to get into the location. “These incidents generally occur when individuals arrive at a home and state that they need to get inside to check the water. They may even wear clothing which is like a uniform. DPW employees will not come to your home and ask to come inside unless you have called us for a specific reason. Our employees will be in official uniform and have a City of Baltimore photo identification,” said the DPW. 911 should be called at any suspicious behavior.

BY ANDY MINDZAK

Success in Chicago for Arrieta Last week was a big week for Chicago Cubs’ pitcher Jake Arrieta as he took home the National League Cy Young award, edging out Zack Greinke from the Los Angeles Dodgers. If you are wondering, yes, this is the same Arrieta who was on the Baltimore Orioles not that long ago and with Thanksgiving upon us, I’m sure that he is thankful that he was given a fresh start in Chicago. Arrieta was drafted by the Orioles in the fifth round of the 2007 draft and made his Major League debut in 2010. During his time in Baltimore, Arrieta showed flashes of potential but for some reason couldn’t put it all together. Eventually, Arrieta was traded to the Cubs in 2013 along with relief pitcher Pedro Strop for catcher Steve Clevenger and Scott Feldman. Looking back, I think we can tell who got the better of that deal. Arrieta pitched well for Chicago in 2013 when he came over. In his nine 2013 starts for Chicago he went 4-2 with a 3.66 ERA, a vast improvement over his 1-2 record with Baltimore and his 7.23 ERA. Then in 2014 Arrieta improved even more, going 10-5 over his 25 starts and posted an ERA of 2.53. While people felt he was ready to take the next step, I’m not sure how many thought the next step would be winning the Cy Young award. Arrieta was simply dominant in 2015. Overall he posted a record of 22-6 with a 1.77 ERA over 33 starts. Over his 229 innings pitched, Arrieta struck out 236 batters while walking only 48. How dominant was he? During the first half of last season, Arrieta pitched very well, going 10-5 with a 2.66 ERA, which is pretty good in my book. As good as his first half numbers were, he somehow was even better in the second half, taking it to a level very few have ever been. After the All Star break, Arrieta went 12-1 with a 0.75 ERA. That’s right, on average, he gave up less than a run per nine innings. In fact, he gave up only nine earned runs all second half. Did I mention he was red hot in August? During the month of August, Arrieta went 6-0 during his six starts and gave up only two earned runs that month, which equates to a 0.43 ERA. That is insane. If you thought that was good, during September and October, he

went 5-0 in six starts and somehow improved on the 0.43 ERA in August by posting an ERA of 0.39 during September and October. All in all, Arrieta gave up four earned runs over his last 12 starts. One stat I found to showcase just how dominant he was this year was how batters fared when there was a runner on third base with less than two outs. In those situations, batters posted a .100 batting average against Arrieta. So, he rose to the occasion. Not only did he rise to the occasion in the second half, the Cubs found themselves in a one game playoff for the National League Wildcard against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Arrieta was on the mound for that game and how do you think he did? Of course he threw a complete game shutout allowing only five hits and striking out 11 batters. Arrieta’s 2015 season was certainly one to be remembered, but Greinke certainly had himself an amazing year also. Greinke had the lowest ERA in all of baseball with a mark of 1.66, the best ERA in all of baseball since 1995 when Greg Maddux posted an ERA of 1.63. While Arrieta has a slightly higher ERA (not by much) he certainly had the better season in my opinion and completely deserved the Cy Young. Too bad he earned it while he wasn’t wearing orange, white and black.

CRIME PROTECTION: guarding your home 1) Be aware of your surroundings. “It’s one of those things we hear over and over again,” said Beall. He said that being unaware is often how people get taken advantage of by criminals. Also, being aware allows you to provide more accurate details to the police when reporting the crime. For accurate suspect descriptions, you should try to make note of details like the suspect’s shoes, pants color, general build, and age range. It is also important to make note of what direction the attacker fled. “Part of this information is providing it objectively and timely. It goes into being aware before something happens, being aware allowed you to get this information,” said Pat Lundberg, another organizer. 2) Lock and secure your doors, windows, and air conditioning units.

Criminals are opportunists. They will often patrol neighborhoods and check every door and window on a street until they find one that’s been left unlocked. Officer Andrew Zayas of the Southern District Police Department said that many burglary suspects have entered the location through unlocked rear windows. He recommends placing a piece of wood on top of back side of the window so that it cannot be lifted. He also said that many people break in by pushing in window air conditioning units, so make sure they are secure.

“The harder it is to commit, the less likely it is to be committed. To reduce the chance of being a victim, you have to not be an easy target,” said Beall.

3) Move valuables from 1st floor. Keys, wallets, purses, phones, and laptops are easy targets. Beall described this new type of burglary as a “snatch and grab”. There have been many recent reports of someone entering a location, taking a few items within arms reach, and then fleeing, often before anybody even notices. A common pattern has the criminal taking car keys and then using that to steal the vehicle. Avoid putting valuables by the front door. 4) Meet your neighbors. Not only is it a nice and friendly thing to do, but knowing your neighbor can create a sense of security. Neighbors will look after your property when you are away and can act as witnesses if something does happen.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Also, neighbors can come together to purchase security cameras and floodlights for alleys. Cameras often act a deterrent as well as possibly producing evidence that the police can use. People can register their camera through the CitiWatch program (www.citiwatch.baltimorecity.gov), which is accessible to the public. If a crime occurs, you can check CitiWatch and see if any of your neighbors have it on film. “The residents can register their camera with the city and if something goes down, the detectives who are investigating it can look on a map and contact people who have cameras in the neighborhood,” explained Brian Sweeney.

5) Smile and say ‘Hi’ to people on the street. This will not only show you’re aware of your surroundings, but your kindness could dissuade any potential attackers. Other miscellaneous topics included the pattern of when crimes take place. Crime happens at all times of the day, not only during the night. In fact, the highest number of crimes happen between 2-8 p.m. “It looks like there’s a spike during the lunch hour and one when everybody gets home from work. So, more people on the street in the city, interacting,” said Sgt. Featherstone of the SEPD.

Officers also suggested leaving lights, TVs, or radios on in your house while you are gone because criminals will think somebody is home and not attack. It’s also crucial to have access to crime data to see where and how crime is happening. “Opinions are nice, data is better,” said Beall. Websites like www.baltimorepolice.org, www.crimebaltimore.com, and www.data. baltimorecity.gov are helpful and can help you take precautions. “Part of all this is bringing the information back to our neighbors. I’m really confident that by following a lot of these simple steps, we can visibly reduce the amount of crime that happens in our neighborhood,” said Lundberg. Last week’s seminar was the first of many with the Southeast. We will keep the community updated on information about future meetings.
