Baltimore’s fight against crime gets $7.9M federal shot in the arm

The fight against crime in Baltimore City is getting a $7.9 million federal shot in the arm. The Maryland congressional delegation on Friday joined Mayor Brandon Scott and police Commissioner Michael Harrison to detail where the money will go — and the police department will receive the bulk of the money. “We got to just admit one thing: We are still a very violent city,” said U.S. Kwiesi Mfume, D-District 7.
