A list of the cities is posted at www.nationalpublicsafetypartnership.org(link is external).
“Turning back the recent troubling increase in violent crime in our country is a top priority of the Department of Justice and the Trump Administration, as we work to fulfill the President’s promise to make America safe again,” said Attorney General Sessions. “The Department of Justice will work with American cities suffering from serious violent crime problems. There is no doubt that there are many strategies that are proven to reduce crime. Our new National Public Safety Partnership program will help these communities build up their own capacity to fight crime, by making use of data-driven, evidence-based strategies tailored to specific local concerns, and by drawing upon the expertise and resources of our Department.”
The Justice Department created PSP and the task force in response to President Trump’s February 9, 2017, Executive Order charging the agency with leading a national effort to combat violent crime. The partnership provides a framework for enhancing federal support of state, local and tribal law enforcement officials and prosecutors as they aggressively investigate and pursue violent criminals, specifically those involved in gun crime, drug trafficking and gang violence.

Baltimore??? Chicago???
Always the democrat run city's.
why waste the money in Balto, Chicago or Detroit?
Why isnt Pres Trump Investigating BLM ? they are a TERRORIST GROUP .
I wish that Salisbury was on the list. We could use the help!
He doesn't investigate anyone but I'm sure the FBI is.
Fbi are already in Chicago and Baltimore per President Trump two months ago... you should watch The President not CNN you might learn something.
Typical of the government . . . wants to COMBAT crime.
It is always war with these guys. Always.
War against us (the people).
Maryland doesn't want any help. Just listen to the filth coming from the mouth of Frosh. No need to blame anyone else.
I left Springfield, Illinois where I was born in 1975 and never looked back except to visit relatives. Sorry to see it made a list like this one...
