Great cops in Baltimore and a great States Attorney in Ivan Bates and his staff. These are the reasons for the crime decline. Criminals in jail and the prospect of jail works. FOP3 commends all involved!

States Attorney Ivan Bates has been a game changer for Baltimore. He has restored the rule of law, and we all owe him a dept of gratitude for taking on this challenge. He has embraced the men and women of the BPD who have always policed Baltimore effectively, it just took the right partner to bring it all together.

The Maryland Attorney General, Anthony Brown (AG), must reconsider his approach to handling sensitive investigations. Transparency is critical, but it must be balanced with the principles of due process, officer safety, and public trust. The recent release of the names of officers involved in the Dontae Melton Jr. case sets a dangerous precedent with far-reaching consequences. This was not a dynamic incident like a police officer involved shooting or similar incident. This incident is all on body worn camera! This is clearly a mental health incident where the police officers pleaded for help from other city agencies, and that help never came.
If AG Brown felt the need to release names in an obvious mental health case, why not release the names of all involved in the breakdown of services from the beginning all the way to the hospital staff. Weren’t they all involved in this incident? Singling out only the officers suggests that this is unbalanced and is politically motivated. The Attorney General should instead focus on ensuring a thorough, impartial investigation that leads to meaningful change. This is not a police officer related event that needed the release of the officers’ names. The AG is obviously looking for headlines! AG Browns’ decision to name the officers appears to be a calculated move to appease those that react before facts.
Inflammatory articles like this one (link below) by Banner reporter Darreonna Davis and the AG’s unnecessary actions put the involved officers at risk and hinders public safety. The facts are the officers involved did everything in their power to ensure Mr. Melton received medical treatment and the AG knows this. Baltimore’s crumbling public safety infrastructure has been ignored for far too long. Baltimore City Fire and EMS, and the BPD have suffered from underfunding and understaffing for years, causing critical issues that surfaced in this incident. This is the failure of city leadership going back decades, not a failure of the individual officers named by the AG. Fix the problems that politics have created and find real solutions instead of pandering.
Mike Mancuso
President, FOP3
