Six shootings in less than 24 hours mark the latest string of violence in Baltimore City, and it has officials scrambling for solutions.

There are more homicides so far this year than this time last year.

Last week, in an interview with WBAL NewsRadio 1090's The C4 Show, Maryland Governor Larry Hogan revealed that he plans to meet with Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh on Monday to "talk about just this issue, about violence in the city."

Pugh said she is asking for the meeting with Hogan to discuss reducing crime in the city. The mayor's ideas include everything from privatizing police desk jobs to legislation that puts offenders with guns in jail for a long time.

"I requested a meeting with the governor because there are some things we want to look at as it relates to reducing violence in our city," Pugh said.

The ideas the mayor plans to bring up are not new. The city delegation to Annapolis and the Police Department have tried before to get the state to act. The ideas include replacing some uniformed officers who work behind the scenes with civilians, putting more police on the streets.

The lack of computers in patrol cars is an ongoing issue. The city will test the technology in some vehicles next month, but officials said the city doesn't have the money to equip the entire fleet.

The mayor also plans to discuss with the governor potential legislation that would support mandatory-minimum sentences for those convicted of illegal gun possession.

"If you look at the data, we are arresting people, we are charging people, that's taking place. But you know the criminal justice system is not enforcing the law in terms of suspending sentences. If somebody commits the crime, they ought to do the time. That's not taking place in our state," Pugh said.

Getting the governor on board for new mandatory-minimum sentences for gun crimes might be difficult as well. Hogan has said current laws need to be enforced.
