The Mayor's Office of Innovation is a team, supported by Bloomberg Philanthropies, that works with City agencies to design and develop projects using research, data and design to tackle a range of challenges in Baltimore. A team of four, led by the Director of the Mayor's Office of Innovation, Dan Hymowitz, will focus on a single issue, defined by the Mayor, over a period of several months before moving on to a new area.  The Innovation Team's initial project is focused on the Baltimore Police Department (BPD) in order to improve its recruitment and hiring.
