About Jahlik Mathis
Jahlik Mathis was nominated by Jonathan Askew of Worthington Financial Partners.
Officer Jahlik Mathis exemplifies what it means to be a community-centered leader in law enforcement. As a dedicated member of the Baltimore City Police Department, Officer Mathis goes far beyond the badge to uplift the youth of his city and strengthen bonds between the police and the community.
He serves on the Board of Directors for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metropolitan Baltimore, helping to shape strategic initiatives that provide young people with safe spaces, mentorship, and life-building opportunities. His commitment to youth empowerment also shines through his involvement with Police and Sneaks, a nonprofit that gifts brand-new sneakers to children ages 5 to 12 across Baltimore. These thoughtful donations do more than meet a material need—they boost children's confidence, promote self-worth, and help foster positive, trust-based relationships between officers and the communities they serve.
Officer Mathis’ work is a powerful example of community policing done right—rooted in empathy, service, and genuine care for Baltimore’s next generation.
