## Resource

Baltimore’s mayor and City Council president are launching a bold new Department of Neighborhood Safety — a third branch of public safety designed to tackle violence prevention and non-emergency calls without defaulting to police. With homicides down 60% in five years, the city is formalizing existing programs like MONSE into a structured system where trained clinicians and social workers respond to crises instead of officers. Backed by a $16 million budget and nationwide leadership hires, this initiative aims to revolutionize how Baltimore answers the call for help — matching people with the right support, not just sirens.
