The true story of how federal law enforcement flipped the playbook and convicted a corrupt unit of Baltimore police.

In the midst of this unrest, the Baltimore Police Department’s Gun Trace Task Force (GTTF) roamed the city, robbing people, selling drugs and guns back onto the same streets they were supposed to be policing, and dividing the loot and profit among themselves. Created to trace guns back to the criminals responsible for Baltimore’s high crime rates, instead, on March 1, 2017, all members of the GTTF were arrested on federal racketeering charges.

Not Too Late is the book for anyone who is despondent, defeatist, or unsure about climate change and seeking answers.
