MG Safe Streets

BALTIMORE, MD -- APRIL 13: Safe Street staffers JJ Allen, center, and Lamont Medley, try to spot someone they both know. At left is Larry Pitts and at far right is Theodore Moore. They were all attending the memorial service for Dana Miller. Sandtown residents who live near and in the Gilmor (cq) Homes come together to mourn Dana Miller, who passed away from an overdose a few days before. The community is tight-knit, and many people claimed a familial connection to the deceased. This is the same community that Freddie Gray was from.
Safe Streets is a program started in Baltimore to cut gun violence in the most dangerous communities in the city by deploying Violence Interruptors to deescalate conflicts before they turn deadly. The newest post has just opened in the long beleaguered Sandtown community which was ground zero for the city's unrest following the death of Freddie Gray….
