Mayor Rawlings-Blake Issues Statement Announcing the End of City-Wide Curfew
BALTIMORE, Md. (May 3, 2015)—Today, Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake issued the following statement on her decision to rescind the city-wide curfew order:
"Effective immediately, I have rescinded my order instituting a city-wide curfew. My goal has always been to not have the curfew in place a single day longer than was necessary. My number one priority in instituting a curfew was to ensure the public peace, safety, health and welfare of Baltimore citizens. It was not an easy decision, but one I felt was necessary to help our city restore calm.
I want to thank the people of Baltimore for their patience during this difficult time as we continue to come together to heal and restore our City."
