BPD promotions become official

Last week I wrote about some imminent promotions within the Baltimore Police Department, affecting several top district commander positions, which are some of the primary points of contact for members of the community. Today they became official, and there's one additional move that I hadn't been privvy to. Here's the statement from the police department:

"Late into the evening on Monday, Police Commissioner Frederick H. Bealefeld met individually with each of the new commanders and outlined he and Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake's expectations to continue the positive momentum in the crime fight and build upon the public safety accomplishments in Baltimore. The Department will continue its focus on targeting the city's most violent offenders and building upon our collaborative partnerships with the community and our criminal justice partners.

-Maj Anthony Brown - transferred to Special Operations from the Southwest District. 
-Dep Major Eric Russell - promoted to Major and transferred from the Central District to lead the Southwest District.
-Dep Major Margaret Barillaro- promoted to Major and will become the permanent commander of the Southern District.
-Lt Mark Partee- promoted to Dep Major from the Inner Harbor Unit and will be assigned to Central District.
-Lt Dorsey McVicker- promoted to Dep Major from the Central District and will be assigned to Southern District.

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.

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.
