Heroine is the drug of choice for North Baltimore. As I moved here in 2013 and became a friend of the police department. I have heard of many young lives ruined because of this drug. Please watch your kids, teens, they are watching them too. I do believe that you need to watch the branches (friends) of your child, if they are not good, rip them off. If you as the parent don’t think the person you kid is hanging around is a good influence get rid of them. Don’t allow your child to hang with them. BE PROACTIVE IN YOUR CHILD’S LIFE.
Great job, so sad to see in the small wonderful town I still call home and get there when I can. Unfortunately I don’t think getting help for the addict has caught up with the effectiveness of the new laws and good police work.
The police need to go after Will Paterson’s parents and Brad Stemen’s grandparents. They harbored these drug dealers. What you harbor you condone!
Great job. Unfortunately, 3 lives have been ruined because of drugs. Hopefully the 2 still living will have learned a lesson and get the help they are in need of soon.
you guys did a great job! God bless nbpd for your courage and for working hard to keep NB safe! God Bless you all!
