SURVEILLANCE REPORT

Western Division, Baltimore PD

SURVEILLANCE SUMMARY REPORT:

Over 60 hours of footage have been dedicated to the problems faced by the city of Baltimore, Maryland (a.k.a. Bodymore, Murderland).

The investigations have been led by a team within the Baltimore PD, and have covered various individuals and organisations involved in:

• 
  Drug  Dealing, Manufacture & Trafficking
  
  
  
• 
  Money  Laundering
  
  
  
• 
  Political  Corruption
  
  
  
• 
  Torture
  
  
  
• 
  Murder
  
  
  

Origins of the case:

D'Angelo Barksdale (nephew of Avon), on trial for murder, was acquitted after a States Witness changed her testimony. It is believed this was due to the orchestrations of Stringer Bell. The second witness who testified against D'Angelo was found dead soon after. At the instruction of Judge Phelan, senior command within Baltimore PD launched a “quick in and out”, “buy/bust” investigation to round up junior members of the Barksdale Organisation. However, the depth of investigation increased as new evidence came to light. This lead to the surveillance operation and ultimately the creation of a specialised division.

The superior nature of the surveillance material has been noted by many experts.

PERSONNEL:

DETECTIVE JIMMY McNULTY

Primary detective on the case. Responsible for arousing interest in the 'Barksdale Organisation'  (see notes below), after comments made to Judge Phelan. Out of favour with higher command due to the necessary diversion of resources to fund the investigation.

Performance Review: Numerous disciplinary infractions (Drinking on duty/non-adherence to procedure/conduct unbecoming) but 'natural murder PO-lice'.

DETECTIVE BUNK MORELAND

Homicide Detective - Partner to McNulty. Veteran within the department with a laid back but thorough approach to policing. Occasionally dragged into trouble by his partner but normally is the voice of reason within the pair.

Performance Review: 'Natural PO-lice', warnings issued regarding drinking on duty and conduct unbecoming.

TARGETS:

AVON BARKSDALE

Leader of the Barksdale drugs organisation. At initial launch of the investigation no details beyond his name were known. Subsequent enquires led to the discovery of his 'Golden Gloves' history and the acquisition of a poster bearing his photograph. Sister and Nephew are also involved to varying degrees within the family business. Rules by equal measures of intimidation and charisma. Majority of the decisions, responsibilities and issuance of orders are orchestrated by his second in command 'Stringer Bell'.

STRINGER BELL

The strong right hand of the Barksdale crew, Stringer seems determined to change the way in which the gang does business. Early surveillance has shown his attendance at evening classes in Economics, with application of the lessons learnt to the trade of drugs both a street and citywide levels. Intelligent and ruthless, his  influence upon the city of Baltimore is widespread and malignant.

ADDITIONAL:

OMAR LITTLE

As investigations have progressed other persons of interest have brought themselves to the attention of the surveillance teams. Linked to a string of armed robberies against members of the 'Barksdale Organisation', Omar Little has become a figure of fear in Western Baltimore, despite his open homosexuality. Only attacking those involved in the sale of drugs, his presence (noted by his habit of whistling “The Farmer in The Dell”) on a street, still inspires panicked residents to flee in terror. Can be recognised by his prominent scar, kevlar vest and shotgun. Has a strong aversion to profanity.

PRESIDENTIAL INTEREST

President Barack Obama, has revealed a strong interest in the progress of these reports, with particular attention being paid to the actions of Omar Little. {Ref - http://bit.ly/2q3DOj}
