RESPONDING TO COMMUNITY NEEDS

In direct response to a worsening crime trend, Shomrim of Baltimore was founded in October 2005. Since its inception, Shomrim's primary goal has been to advocate for and enhance the safety and security of all community members. As needs have grown, Baltimore Shomrim has expanded its efforts by adding numerous public safety initiatives.

Customers served! 1 + Volunteers

The number of first responders and volunteers has grown from a handful to over 35 dedicated individuals.

In addition to those who patrol and respond to calls, we have volunteers trained in EMS, search and rescue, dispatch, and mental health. We also have IT specialists who assist with recovering camera footage and managing our camera project.


Additionally, Baltimore Shomrim has volunteers committed to advocating for public safety with law enforcement and public officials on behalf of the community.
