External Affairs

Changing the Way We Engage the Community

 

The External Affairs Division of the Baltimore City States Attorney’s Office is comprised of several units that exist to provide a voice to the community regarding the inner workings of the BCSAO. Made up of the Government and Legislative Affairs unit, as well as the Youth and Community Engagement units, this division is tasked with working towards a more inclusive and holistic criminal justice system, restoring the public’s confidence in a system designed to hold those who go astray of the law accountable for their actions.

These units work in unison to better educate, engage and empower the residents of Baltimore City while working within the neighborhoods to help foster a better relationship between our office and the residents and the community and business organizations responsible for relaying information to their constituent base.
