Baltimore Police Commissioner Anthony W. Batts will address the Roland Park Civic League about his plans for reducing crime in the city during the organization’s annual meeting.
The league will meet at 7 p.m., Wednesday at the Roland Park Elementary and Middle School, 5207 Roland Ave., according to the group’s website.
At previous community meetings in North Baltimore Batts has talked to residents about reaching out and helping in other communities that are struggling with crime in addition to how he plans to address issues specific to those communities.
Batts took over command of the nation’s sixth largest department last fall following a stint as the police chief in Oakland. He was selected by Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake and confirmed by the city council to succeed Frederick H. Bealefeld III.
