January 28, 2021 Governor Larry Hogan announced another successful year for law enforcement agencies focused on reducing violent crime in Maryland as part of the Maryland Criminal Intelligence Network (MCIN). MCIN, a criminal justice strategy announced by Governor Hogan in 2017 and funded through the Governor’s Office of Crime Prevention, Youth, and Victim Services, encourages local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies to collaborate and share information to target, disrupt, and dismantle criminal gangs as well as criminal organizations involved in drug, firearm, and human trafficking operations. “I am proud of the work of the Maryland Criminal Intelligence Network to keep Marylanders safe, especially during the challenging and unprecedented events of this past year,” said Governor Hogan. “Their efforts have disrupted nearly 1,000 criminal organizations since 2018 and send a clear message that we will not accept behavior that compromises quality of life in our communities. I appreciate their selflessness and dedication to taking dangerous groups and repeat violent offenders off the street ”
