Four years ago I crisscrossed the city promising to hold repeat violent offenders accountable, rebuild the State’s Attorney’s office, protect our older adults, and stand up for victims of crime.
Four years later, I've held true to my word. We've delivered historic reductions in homicides and violent crime. We've held those who commit quality-of-life crimes accountable through our Citation Docket. We created a new Older Adult and Disabled Persons Unit and expanded our city's Victim and Witness Division.
We've made Baltimore safer by being "smart on crime.” We’re setting the right priorities, handing down tough but fair sentences for violent crime, and building stronger relationships with our communities.

@DoniGlover I don’t remember you saying Marilyn Mosby should “do the right thing” when you were supporting her 4-years ago when she was running for re-election while under federal indictment? 🤷🏾♂️🤨🙄😩
Tonight my boy, Prince Caleb became a King 👑 as he played Malcolm - the heir to the throne - in Shakespeare’s Macbeth #ProudPapa#GiordanoGuys#kingcaleb
@HarborWestColl@Jass05201@BaltimorePolice@Westport21230@KeithDFox45@ivanjbates The Citation Docket is a perfect tool to use here whereas BPD would need to write a citation or citations for trespassing and/or destruction of property. The offender will be held accountable for their action, given community service, while also being offered wrap-around services

After two weather-related delays, fingers crossed 🤞 I’m once again hoping you will join me for my 2026 re-election kick-off for States Attorney. I will welcome supporters at Sammy’s Trattoria (1200 N. Charles Street) on Monday, March 30th from 5:30-7:30P and hope to see you there! #BuildingBridges #BatesForBaltimore2026
Tonight I had the pleasure of coming out to greet the voters of Baltimore at the Charles Village Community Association candidates forum in conjunction with Johns Hopkins Votes.
While I may not have any candidates running against me, I will still be out knocking on doors and attending great events like this to hear from the residents of Baltimore - like Kevin from Ednor Gardens - on what they feel are the issues the @baltimoresao and I should be focused on; and to ask you once again for your vote.
Being your States Attorney has been an honor & one of the greatest privileges ever bestowed upon me, so please know I am grateful for this opportunity and don’t take this position for granted. #BuildingBridgesForASaferBaltimore
This dude just got the shock of his life when he decided to "park" for a little bit with his date that he recently met to have a little intimate time together. 😁
To his surprise his date had some extra hardware that he was not anticipating to be in place thus you get his reaction to the discovery for all to see right here in this video. 🤣🤣
How in the hell do we lose a quarter of the team in one day (Linderbaum, Likely, Mitchell, Washington, Stout, Kolar, Jones, Gilman and Hummel) and screw up the Maxx Crosby deal to boot? EDC needs to be fired! And I’m ready to sell my PSLs - this is pathetic! #FailingFlock
Baltimore, if you have questions about juvenile crime impacting your community or concerns about the proliferation of smoke shops in your neighborhoods, join me for our annual #SolutionsPact next week as I am joined by DJS Secretary Betsy Fox Tolentino, Councilman Tony Glover, representatives from the Alcohol, Tobacco and Cannabis Commission and more as we look to bring forth solutions to the issues impacting your quality of life.
Historic #BaltimoreCitySafetySlate launched today by the city States Attorney @ivanjbates Sheriff Sam Cogen, Register of Wills Belinda K Conaway and Clerk of the Circuit Court Xavier Conaway came together today like Voltron to each file for re-election to their respective offices
@f8thbyhearing@ivanjbates Yes…if u are seriously looking to target the problem areas. Of course we know the obvious - there are way too many vacant houses & rampant drug dealing - but u need to put eyes on the hot spots & areas of concern to put a plan of action in place from a public safety perspective
@JeffONeal1984 @foxandfriends@ivanjbates The suspect was detained in North Carolina and MD authorities from the Governor’s Warrant team failed to submit the necessary paperwork, so where is exactly is Ivan Bates responsible for this? Guess we see who the real buffoon is? Reading is fundamental!
@easterlily49@BaltimoreSAO@ivanjbates SA Bates and his administration actions had absolutely nothing to do with Adnan’s guilt or innocence! It was solely based on if the Motion to Vacate prompted by the Mosby administration at the last minute was legally justified - and according to their review it appears it was NOT
