Fugitive Safe Surrender Baltimore, Maryland –
June 16-19, 2010
The development of Fugitive Safe Surrender in Baltimore
was launched under the stewardship of Johnny Hughes, United States
Marshal for Maryland. Marshal Hughes has worked with government,
corporate, non-profit, and faith-based sector partners to lay the
groundwork for a successful Fugitive Safe Surrender
operation in Baltimore, Maryland. That four-day surrender period has
been set for Wednesday, June 16, to Saturday, June 19, 2010. The doors
will be open from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm each day at the New Metropolitan
Baptist Church located at 1501 McCulloh Street, in Baltimore.
Pastor Richard D. Dickens of New Metropolitan Baptist Church and the
Reverend Dr. Frank Madison Reid, III of Bethel A.M.E. Church have agreed
to serve as the faith-based leaders of Fugitive Safe
Surrender-Baltimore. The turn-in site will be at New
Metropolitan, and the courts are sitting across the street in the Bethel
A.M.E. Outreach Center.
Over 25,000 people have surrendered in the 17 Fugitive Safe Surrender
operations since its inception in August 2005, for an average of
approximately 375 people a day. Baltimore is hosting the 18th Fugitive
Safe Surrender operation nationwide, and the first in Maryland.
Organizers are hopeful that this initiative, like the many that have
preceded it around the country, will be successful and have a positive
impact on the community.
This program is not for those who have warrants for child support, are
juvenile offenders, have immigration issues, warrants from Baltimore
County Circuit Court, or warrants from any jurisdiction outside of
Baltimore City or Baltimore County. Children are not to be brought to
the church.
There are no religious requirements, and a secular surrender site is
available.
In addition to the Marshals Service, participating agencies include the
Baltimore City Criminal Justice Coordinating Council, the Baltimore
Police Department, the Baltimore Mayor’s Office, the Baltimore City
State’s Attorney’s Office, the Office of the Public Defender, the
Administrative Office of the Courts, the Circuit Court for Baltimore
City, the District Court for Baltimore City, the Baltimore City Circuit
Court Clerk’s Office, the Baltimore City District Court Clerk’s Office,
the Baltimore City Sheriff’s Department, the Maryland State Police, the
Office of the Baltimore City Council President, the Division of Pretrial
Detention and Services, the Pretrial Release Services Program, the
Division of Parole and Probation, the Baltimore County Police
Department, the Baltimore County State’s Attorney’s Office, and the
District Court for Baltimore County.
Funding for FSS-Baltimore was provided by the Governor’s Office of Crime
Control and Prevention through the Byrne/JAG Recovery and Reinvestment
Act of 2009; the US Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs’
Bureau of Justice Assistance; the US Marshals Service; and the Baltimore
County State’s Attorney’s Office.
