- Domestic Violence has no place in our community, especially when it involves menacing with a firearm. Our Patrol Officers responded quickly, defused the situation, arrested the suspect and seized this loaded firearm used in the crime.
- After running towards the sound of gunshots, our Field Training Officers pursued a suspect, conducted an investigation, made multiple arrests, and seized three firearms. Strong work by our Officers who refuse to let violent offenders own the night.
