This is historic and hard-fought progress—but our work is not done. Any life lost to violence in our city is one too many. I want to thank the brave men and women of @BaltimorePolice, our community violence intervention ecosystem, @OAGMaryland, @BaltimoreMONSE, @BaltimoreSAO, and most importantly, our residents for their collective work to make our neighborhoods safer than they've been in decades. Now is the time to go even further: to expand the strategies that are working, to strengthen the partnerships that have gotten us to this point, and to maintain our focus on saving lives. My team and I are just as committed to this work today as we have been since day one.

Earlier this month, we announced additional funding to expand our 9-1-1 Diversion infrastructure. Ensuring that we are delivering the right response at the right time for every call. Thank you again to the best Federal Delegation in the country for making this possible and for always believing in Baltimore.

We cannot afford to be silent when our democracy is under attack. We will continue to stand with the voters and advocates who are fighting to protect our rights in the courts, in legislatures, and at the ballot box.

At this time in 2023, there were 179 non-fatal shootings in Baltimore. This year, it's 87, a decline of 51%. Homicides down more than 60%

Baltimore is experiencing a renaissance on so many fronts it’s crazy. Crime at 50 year lows. 1 Billion + redevelopment of Inner Harbor We had 16,000 vacant properties that’s been cut to 11,813. 25 major festivals this summer alone. Baltimore The Greatest City in America

It's stories like Ms. Patricia that remind us why this work is so important. It is about showing up when it matters the most and investing in real solutions that prevent other families from experiencing this type of loss. Solutions that address the root causes of violence. Solutions that hold gun companies accountable. Solutions that bring trusted voices into conflicts. Solutions that help people change their lives and choose a better path. While we’ve made real progress, our work is not done. We will continue this work, block by block.

In honor of National Apprenticeship Week, I wanted to share Kenyona, who, during my State of the City Address, shared how @JobsBaltimore_ was able to connect her to a real opportunity and put her on a pathway to a strong career. Her story is exactly why we continue to invest in apprenticeship programs. If you’re ready to start your own path into an apprenticeship, @JobsBaltimore_ is here to help.

.@MayorBMScott talking about his 2027 budget: "Many of these rec centers are in neighborhoods where redlining was first used… we're now putting historic amounts of money into those neighborhoods that were purposefully disinvested in, that's where it should go."

Baltimore City Mayor Brandon Scott walked with community members through Druid Hill Park on Monday evening, answering questions and receiving public feedback​ on the city's new preliminary budget. cbsnews.com/baltimore/news…

After the death of Dr. Cerina Wanzer Fairfax, Brandon Scott called out men who stay silent, saying too many “don’t check their homeboys for stuff that leads to stuff like this.” More #OnTheGrio: thegrio.com/2026/04/18/bra…
