On 12/4/21, several of our patrol officers participated in the Holiday Toy Drive hosted by Councilmember Jennings and the Pocket Greenhaven Community Association. Officers were able to make a large toy donation and spend so time with the community.
On 12/9/21, in the early morning hours, officers conducted a traffic stop at 29th St / Florin Rd. During a search of the vehicle, a loaded pistol with the serial numbers scratched off was located. The person in possession was arrested.
On 12/15/21, our POP team concluded a months long investigation into catalytic converter thefts in the region. During the service of a search warrant in the 7300 block of Meadowgate Dr, officers recovered 40 stolen catalytic converters and three firearms. One subject was taken into custody as a result.
I wanted to conclude with an incident that occurred on 11/28/21 in our East Area. This was on officer involved shooting that highlights not only the dangers our officers face on a daily basis, but also the efforts we take to resolve situations peacefully.
