Attorney General Gansler, Maryland law enforcement officials, and the Cal Ripkin, Sr. Foundation have teamed up for a youth-mentoring program called "Badges for Baseball" that connects kids with cops who play sports with them and serve as mentors.
The Maryland Attorney General's Office is coordinating the program in nine jurisdictions throughout the State.
"Badges for Baseball not only teaches kids the basic skills of the game, but also helps them learn critical life lessons in leadership, good sportsmanship, and integrity, while developing positive relationships with law enforcement officers in their own communities," said Attorney General Gansler.
