Violence
Prevention in Baltimore
Baltimore
has long suffered from high yearly
counts of homicides. During the
1990s, however, Baltimore experienced
more than three hundred homicides
per year between 1990 and 1997,
with a 30-year high peak of 353
homicides in 1993. In 1996 and 1997,
Baltimore had the fourth highest
homicide rate in the United States
among cities with more than 250,000
residents. Beginning in 1998, with
the support of the Baltimore Safe
and Sound Campaign, David Kennedy
and Anthony Braga have facilitated
a working group comprised of Baltimore
Police Department officers, Baltimore
State's Attorney's Office and U.S.
Attorney's Office prosecutors, probation
and parole officers, juvenile corrections
officers, and federal law enforcement
agencies (ATF, FBI, and DEA). The
working group engaged a problem-solving
enterprise to unravel the dynamics
underlying the homicide problem,
develop a comprehensive violence
reduction strategy, and implement
the strategy.

The 9-1-1 site is not sanctioned by
any department or agency. Simplest
way to explain it is this, the 9-1-1
was begun back in 1995 when there
was a missing piece to the web. At
that time the Emergency Services were
just learning about the web, and links
to most of the sites that were online
at the time, could be found in the
much smaller version of the 9-1-1
site at the time. As time has passed,
the 9-1-1 has changed, updated, rebuilt,
been a founding site at what was then
FireFighting.Com & Associates,
and was a part of the Emergency-World.Com
& Associates till a server failure
forced the Emergency-World.com site
to go offline permanently. It has
had to be on the back burner a number
of times as other projects were implemented,
or sites brought online, but always
seems to plug onward. The most ambitious
change is the one started late June
2000 and continues on at this time.
The rebuild of the entire site, no
small undertaking now that the 9-1-1
goes over the 375+ web section mark.
Hopefully the year 2004 can usher
in even more change and new things
or ideas to keep the 9-1-1 up with
the other sites devoted to the Emergency
Services.
Remember
one thing, the 9-1-1 is your (the
visitors) site, please take a moment
to let us know what is missing, needs
improvement, doesn't work or needs
a simple wash job. Hey, will even
take a kind word or to, but please
let us know how we can be of even
better help to you the user of the
9-1-1 Fire Police Medical Web.
