In October 2019, Baltimore Police Department (BPD) Commissioner Michael Harrison and then-City Solicitor Andre Davis announced the initiation of an independent investigation into the circumstances surrounding the Gun Trace Task Force (GTTF), the most shocking police corruption scandal in Baltimore history.
The harm caused by these events, which captured national attention, further frayed the historically troubled relationship between BPD and Baltimore residents, especially in communities of color. The independent investigation, conducted by Steptoe and Johnson LLP, resulted in an extensive report detailing corruption, misconduct, and dysfunction spanning 20 years.
Join the UBalt Law Center for Criminal Justice Reform and the Maryland Office of the Public Defender on Tuesday, Feb. 22 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at the University of Baltimore School of Law, 1401 N. Charles St., Baltimore, to hear from the lead investigator and author of the GTTF Investigation Report, former DOJ Inspector General Michael Bromwich.
This in-person event, “The Gun Trace Task Force Scandal: Its Origins, Causes and Consequences,” seeks to support the path forward by making this 660-page document more accessible to the community via a presentation of key takeaways and an opportunity for robust Q&A.
This event is free and open to the public. We request that in-person guests be fully vaccinated and wear KN95 masks, which are available at the security desk. The event also will be simulcast on Zoom, and guests may submit written questions and comments during the event. The event will be recorded and accessible for later viewing.
