The Baltimore Sun reports city officials announced the findings of the Safe Streets review Wednesday, also rolling out plans to spend $10 million in federal funding to shore up operations and establish a “community violence intervention ecosystem."
Questions have been raised about the program that launched in 2007 after the recent killings of three of its workers.
