Ivan Bates (D) of the state of Baltimore City will be in the Huber Memorial Church in the Huber Memorial Church in 5700 hole Raven. The event is expected to start at 6 p.m. and end at 8 p.m. to deal with youth crime and enable young people.

The Pact Town Houses solutions want to give the municipality and the local managers for a time and place to discuss solutions for a number of questions of public security with which Baltimore is exposed.

“We don't just talk about” We have to lock our children “, but what are some real solutions for what the young people are going through,” said Bates. “We only want to sit down with the community in order not only to hear their frustration, but also to hear from young people, hopefully it will come out so that we can also hear what their frustration is.”

Residents who participate can ask questions, combine their children with summer programs and receive information about the various services offered by city authorities.

“This is your opportunity to be heard,” said Bates.

The City Council of Baltimore, Mark Conway (D District 04), and several local officials from Baltimore City Recreation and Parks, the Mayor's Office, the Baltimore Police Department and the Baltimore City public schools will be present.

“We would like to have the right people at the table to talk about how we support each other, support our youth and make sure that we will have real progress in the future,” said Conway.

Conway advised what he thinks of the persistent problem of the youth criminal rates in Baltimore.

“There were cases in which young people were arrested in one day, were released on the same day and then arrested again,” said Conway. “We would like to make sure that in cases where they should be detained – and sometimes the case is – that we actually do it and our system works correctly.”
