He has attended daily roll calls to hear directly from police and has a good working relationship with Commissioner Harrison.

He has reversed some of Mosby's stance such as not punishing lower level crimes and looking at it on a more case to case basis, but maintaining some of her policies like the police "do not call" list where he refuses to work with police on prosecutions that have known integrity issues.

I know nothing about this guy other than what you said - but it sounds good.

I keep saying it, no doubt there are aspects of criminal justice reform that need to be examined and improved - but not for violent offenders. Nobody wants to see violent offenders back on the streets so quickly.
