As we break through 50 Episodes we are surrounded by Angels as we bring forward Baltimore's Police Commissioner - Richard Worley, Nancy Hines - the Executive Director of the Signal 13 Foundation, Barb Clapp - the President of the Board of the Signal 13 Foundation and Jerry Heid - our liaison to the Police Department. Jerry Heid is the second longest serving officer in the history of the BCPD.
This Commissioner comes to the job with an unprecedented level of experience. During his 30 plus years at the BCPD he has performed just about every job you can imagine. We haven't had one of our own at the job for this long in decades. The result is a department that has someone that has walked in their shoes, leading the way. As Jerry Heid agrees, this simple cultural improvement is being felt in all 9 Districts and has lead to major reductions in crime. We dive into his ascent to the top and learn what makes this incredible man tick.
Next we turn to the Frank J. Battaglia Signal 13 Foundation which provides hardship support for the men and woman of the Baltimore Police Department. They also provide scholarships for the children of these brave men and women. The Signal 13 Foundation stands as a beacon of support, providing essential resources for police officers and their families in times of need. We get an update on our Capital campaign which is going along great and will provide for more opportunities for scholarships for more kids.
The Commissioners Office and the Signal 13 Foundation work tirelessly to uphold law enforcement excellence and foster positive relationships with residents. Here's to their unwavering dedication to serving and protecting the vibrant city of Baltimore!
Thank you Richard, Nancy, Barb, and Jerry! Angel's at work!
