BALTIMORE — The Baltimore Police Department is one step away from changing its district boundaries for the first time in decades.
On Monday, the City Council voted to move forward on a third and final reading to implement the changes
The department's goal is to balance the workload in each district, which in turn could improve call response times.
As part of the new map, 18 neighborhoods previously divided would be reunited.
