MILLER.
REPORTER: VERNETTA JONES
MARSHALL, BETTER KNOWN AS
NEECEY, HAS LIVED ALL OF HER 62
YEARS IN EAST BALTIMORE'S OLIVER
COMMUNITY.
SHE REMEMBERS WELL WHEN IT WAS
ONE OF BALTIMORE'S MOST
DANGEROUS AREAS.
VERNETTA JONES MARSHALL: I
REMEMBER WHEN IT USED TO BE OK
CORRAL.
REPORTER: DRUG TRAFFICKING AND
VIOLENCE USED TO PREVAIL.
MORE THAN A THOUSAND PROPERTIES
WERE VACANT.
2002 BROUGHT THE NOTORIOUS
KILLING OF THE DAWSON FAMILY,
FIREBOMBED AFTER REPORTING DRUG
DEALING.
>> BUT TODAY, OLIVER IS A VERY
DIFFERENT PLACE.
VERNETTA JONES MARSHALL: YOU CAN
HEAR PINS DROP IN MY BLOCK.
WE ARE OK COMING OUT NOW.
THE FOR YOU ARE VERY -- I WAS
VERY AFRAID TO COME OUT.
REPORTER: WHAT'S HAPPENED IN
OLIVER IS A REMARKABLE EXCEPTION
TO AN OTHERWISE GRIM PICTURE IN
BALTIMORE, WHERE THE ANNUAL
COUNT OF HOMICIDES HAS DIPPED
BELOW 200 JUST THREE TIMES SINCE
1970.
WE MAPPED THE 318 HOMICIDES IN
2016.
AND THE 1998 HOMICIDES, 313 THAT
YEAR.
LOOK SIMILAR?
THEY ARE.
MERGE THEM, AND YOU SEE VIOLENCE
CONCENTRATED IN MOSTLY THE SAME
NEIGHBORHOODS MOST PLAGUED BY
BLIGHT, POVERTY, AND LACK OF
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.
13 HOMICIDES IN EACH OF THOSE
TWO YEARS WERE IN THE VERY SAME
BLOCK.
BRANDON SCOTT: YOU ALSO LOOK AT
THOSE SAME STOPS, YOU WILL FIND
YOUR LIGHT OUTAGES, YOUR ILLEGAL
DUMPING, YOUR 311 REQUESTS, YOUR
HOUSING CODE REQUEST, YOUR
HEALTH CODE VIOLATIONS.
EVERYTHING THAT'S BAD HAPPENS IN
THOSE SAME AREAS.
REPORTER: THOSE INVOLVED IN
CHANGING OLIVER CREDIT NOT ONE
EFFORT, BUT SEVERAL, STRONG
COMMUNITY ORGANIZING, LED BY THE
GROUP BUILD, PUBLIC AND PRIVATE
INVESTMENT --
>> POLICE, SEARCH WARRANT.
REPORTER: POLICING THAT TARGETED
VIOLENT OFFENDERS.
HOMES HAVE BEEN REHABBED,
ATTRACTING NEW RESIDENTS,
WITHOUT DISPLACING EXISTING
ONES.
A BIG HELP, THE EXPANSION OF
JOHNS HOPKINS HOSPITAL, SERVING
AS AN ECONOMIC ENGINE.
BRANDON SCOTT: YOU ARE TALKING
ABOUT AN AREA LIKE BOND STREET
WHERE THEY FILMED THE WIRE.
THEY NOW SELL HOUSES FOR
$220,000.
REPORTER: IN 1998, THERE WERE
NINE HOMICIDES WITHIN THE
BOUNDARY OF OLIVER.
IN 2016, THERE WERE THREE.
TIM AKERS: WE NEED TO PULL
EVERYBODY TOGETHER AND
BRAINSTORM.
REPORTER: TIM AKERS CHALLENGES
THE WAY WE DEAL WITH CRIME.
FAR TOO NARROWLY HE SAYS IF THE
MAIN FOCUS IS ON POLICING.
AKERS IS A VICE PRESIDENT FOR
RESEARCH AT MORGAN STATE
UNIVERSITY.
TIM AKERS: IF WE KEEP LOOKING AT
THINGS AS ONE DISCIPLINE, WE ARE
GOING TO KEEP GETTING THESE ONE
BAND AID SOLUTIONS.
YOU NEED TO HAVE BUSINESS
PEOPLE, EVERYBODY TALKING ABOUT
HOW CAN WE ALTER AND CHANGE A
COMMUNITY TO MAKE IT VIABLE, TO
MAKE IT SAFE.
REPORTER: SINCE 1998, BALTIMORE
HAS SPENT $6.8 BILLION ON
POLICING, FAR MORE THAN ANY
OTHER TAXPAYER FUNDED SERVICE.
BRANDON SCOTT: YOU CANNOT SAY WE
HAVE GOTTEN THE RETURN ON OUR
INVESTMENT.
I DON'T THINK ANYONE CAN SAY TO
YOU WITH A STRAIGHT FACE.
AND THAT BEGS THE QUESTION
MOVING FORWARD, HOW CAN WE START
TO LOOK AT THINGS DIFFERENTLY?
REPORTER: ONE SUGGESTION FROM
TIM AKERS,
BLEND THE BUDGETS OF THE CITY
POLICE DEPARTMENT AND THE HEALTH
DEPARTMENT.
TIM AKERS: IN OTHER WORDS, THE
POLICE COMMISSIONER AND THE
HEALTH COMMISSIONER SIT DOWN AND
PLAN THE BUDGET TOGETHER?
>> EXACTLY.
REPORTER: NOTHING LIKE THAT IN
BALTIMORE IS DONE NOW.
WORK REMAINS IN OLIVER, BUT IT
IS AN EXAMPLE OF NOT ALL IT
TAKES TO MAKE A COMMUNITY SAFER.
POLICING ONE PART, BUT JUST ONE
OF INTENSE COLLABORATION BETWEEN
AGENCIES, INVESTORS AND
