William Wisner-Carlson

Bloomberg Fellow

William is a detective working in the Baltimore Community Intelligence Center (BCIC) within the Central District of the Baltimore City Police Department. In his role, Will is responsible for gathering and disseminating intelligence related to criminal groups, contributing to investigations involving shootings, carjackings, and homicides. Through his work, he has developed a deep understanding of the cycles of retaliation that contribute to the high levels of gun violence in Baltimore City. 

The Baltimore Community Intelligence Center (BCIC) is an initiative aimed at ensuring effective utilization of technological investments within the Baltimore City Police Department. BCIC's mission involves sharing intelligence internally and externally, ensuring enforcement actions are constitutional and intelligence-backed, and modernizing information sharing within the police department. BCIC detectives, like Will, play a crucial role in making recommendations on patrol deployments, integrating crime trend data, collecting criminal intelligence, and responding to community complaints. The ultimate goal is to enhance information sharing, improve the detection of linked violence, and facilitate more efficient responses by law enforcement in Baltimore City.
