For decades, veteran police officers viewed Baltimore's Northeast Police District, dominated by middle-class, low-crime neighborhoods, as a "country club" assignment. But a rise in crime in some neighborhoods is changing that sentiment. Shootings and violence have been on the rise in the district — the city's largest, spanning 17 square miles including Lauraville, Ednor Gardens and Belair Edison — and it leads the city in homicides this year. The Police Department recently designated two neighborhoods in the area as "violent crime enforcement zones," putting them on a par with some of the most troubled spots in the city.
