Mayor Bernard C. “Jack” Young asked Hogan for more state police deployments in the city, more staff for parole and probation in Baltimore and the release of $7 million in funding for technology upgrades in the Baltimore Police Department.***Nearly 700 people have been shot this year in Baltimore, a 27 percent increase from the same time last year.***Hogan said he believed the state would be able to fund “a lot” of Young’s requests. The Republican governor said he “gave them some input and some advice about how to improve the working relationship between the state and the city.”***Young’s office said, he asked for more “crime suppression traffic stops” by Maryland State Police and Maryland Transportation Authority Police; more parole and probation officers in each Baltimore police district to better monitor repeat offenders, including a unit focused on the “top 25 most violent offenders”; more state staffing of Central Booking and Juvenile Booking to free city officers for police work; state reimbursement for overtime for Baltimore officers who work stadium events, allowing city overtime spending to be used on crime-fighting; release of the $7 million Hogan is withholding for Baltimore police technology amid a budget dispute with General Assembly Democrats; $2.4 million relocate the Baltimore police academy; and $1.5 million for a new records management system, among other requests.

Quite the turn around from the protests of years ago.  But they will not remember the cycle, they will forget and when the next police shooting happens, protests and crime restart. They wash, rinse and repeat.
