The Gun Trace Task Force (known as GTTF) were an elite Baltimore police special operations task force, known for their success in capturing drug dealers and illegal firearms.

Wayne Jenkins
Jenkins was considered the ringleader of the "criminal enterprise" and former leader of what would be considered an "aggressive street squad". An investigation by The Baltimore Sun revealed over the course of three years (2006 until 2009) that Jenkins had been the subject of three lawsuits for misconduct, all of which were successful for the plaintiffs either by jury verdict or City settlement. In 2015 Jenkins was charged internally with misconduct after a surveillance video revealed he may have planted drugs on a suspect. Investigators suggested demotion and suspension without pay, however then Deputy Commissioner, Darryl DeSousa intervened to prevent punishment.
