Cop walks

There are at least two dozen Baltimore Police Citizen On Patrol walks scheduled for this evening. City Council President Stephanie C. Rawlings-Blake plans to be in Belair-Edison; Mayor Sheila Dixon will be in her neighborhood of Hunting Ridge.

Steve Herlth of Southwest Baltimore sent this detailed schedule. It's not comprehensive but it covers much of what's planned:

This is our neighborhood, take a walk!
Taking back the City, One Community, One Walk at a time.

Hi my Friends,

Well, tonight is the night of the Big City Wide Walk. If there is any doubt in your mind, please come out and be seen. We cannot expect the Baltimore City Police to solve all our community problems without us as individuals being involved. So, make the decision and join us.  Look at the following communities that are walking and pick one. We sure can use your help.  Oh, do not forget to dress warm, have comfortable walking shoes, and bring a flashlight, and most of all, have fun and meet new friends.

About Peter Hermann
Peter Hermann started covering news for The Baltimore Sun in 1990, first in Anne Arundel County and, starting in 1994, reporting on the Baltimore Police Department. In 2001, he was assigned to Jerusalem as the Baltimore Sun's Middle East correspondent. He returned in 2005 as an assistant city editor overseeing crime coverage. In 2008, Peter returned to the beat as a daily reporter and blogger. A recent BBC report featured him in a segment on the harsh realities of covering crime in Baltimore.

Coverage will focus on crime trends, problems in neighborhoods in the city and elsewhere, profiles of victims and police officers and try to offer readers a fresh perspective on one of the most vexing issues facing Baltimore and its future.



Contributing to this blog is Justin Fenton, who joined The Sun in 2005 and has covered the Baltimore City Police Department and the criminal justice system since 2008. His work includes an investigation into Cal Ripken Jr.’s minor league baseball stadium deal with his hometown of Aberdeen, a three-part series chronicling a ruthless con woman, coverage of the killing of five Amish children at a schoolhouse in Nickel Mines, Pa., and a job swap with a British crime reporter to explore differences in crime-fighting. A special report looking into how city police handle rape cases led to sweeping reforms that changed the way sexual assaults are investigated in Baltimore. He was recognized as the best reporter in Baltimore by the City Paper in 2010 and by Baltimore Magazine in 2011.
