About Us

We participate annually as a local sponsor of "National Night Out" against Crime. "National Night Out" is designed to:  

1. Heighten crime and drug prevention awareness.  

2. Generate support for and participation in local anti-crime efforts.  

3. Strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships.  

4. Send a message to criminals letting them know neighborhoods are organized and standing together.  

Operation P.U.L.S.E. secured and administered the Hotspots grant, an initiative funded by the state through the Baltimore City Police Department and was a coordinated effort of state, local, and neighborhood groups to reduce crime enhance neighborhood safety, and pride.  

Operation P.U.L.S.E. facilitated the Ambassadors Program which trained persons in security techniques and community relations in partnership with John Hopkins Medical Institutions Corporate Security along H.E.B.C.A.C. (Historic East Baltimore Community Act on Coalition). These persons patrolled the Monument Street Merchant Corridor as part of training. The 6-month long training program served as a springboard for individuals completing the program to be hired by Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions Corporate Security. P.U.L.S.E. additionally assisted persons in acquiring a G.E.D.  

Through sharing the documentary, The Interrupters, P.U.L.S.E. initiated a crucial dialogue between former gang members, law enforcement, and our community. Operation P.U.L.S.E. also allowed the community to show appreciation for those who put their lives on the line each day and the families who have loved and lost. The Heroes Behind the Badge showing gave the community a perspective that had been missing in many communities where trust between law enforcement and residents is now growing.  

Operation P.U.L.S.E. has even been privileged to be visited by the former United States Attorney General, The Honorable Janet Reno, to see firsthand how P.U.L.S.E. makes a difference in the community it serves and the lives of people so affected by crime. P.U.L.S.E. continues to be honored by churches, schools, and local and state governments for their commitment to crime prevention.
