BALTIMORE — It's been nearly six months since the FBI raided the Belair-Edison site of Safe Streets Baltimore.

While details of the investigation remain unknown, it led to a suspension of operations at the facility.

We're now learning activity has once again picked up.

According to the Mayor’s Office of Neighborhood Safety & Engagement (MONSE), the Belair-Edison Safe Streets office resumed community engagement in late March.

Currently the office is being staffed with regular full-time employees, and four workers temporarily assigned, two from LifeBridge Center for Hope and two others from MONSE.

Last fiscal year Safe Streets, as a whole, reported 902 violence prevention mediations, while hosting 216 community events, per the Center for Hope's website.
