Today's guest is the Vice President for Public Safety at Johns Hopkins, Dr. Branville Bard, Jr. He will head the university's police force which is slated to become operational next summer.

Bard is tasked with forming the force that will cover three areas including the Homewood Campus, the hospitals and medical school in East Baltimore and the Peabody Conservatory in Mt. Vernon.

The Maryland General Assembly established laws governing the formation of the agency in 2019 and Bard is following the prescribed guidance to develop staff, training and policing procedure.
