Operation Summer Shield https://www.phoenix.gov/newsroom/police/2785Police6/15/2023 8:00:00 PMhttps://www.phoenix.gov/newssite/Lists/NewsArticle/Attachments/2785/Summer Shield Newsroom Graphic.pngOperation Summer Shield <div class="ExternalClassD4FEBB7D038047C0AEB7528524D1889B"><html> <p style="margin:0px 0px 10px;line-height:1.6;">​The Phoenix Police Department is proud to have organized a five-day multi-agency operation dubbed Operation Summer Shield, that aimed at enhancing public safety by proactively addressing violent offenders in the City of Phoenix. <br></p> <p style="margin:0px 0px 10px;line-height:1.6;">“The City of Phoenix is safer than it was just one week ago because of Operation Summer Shield," said Interim Police Chief Michael Sullivan.</p> <p style="margin:0px 0px 10px;line-height:1.6;">The operation took place June 5 through June 9 and resulted in hundreds of arrests, as well as gun and drug seizures:</p> <ul> <li> <p style="margin:0px 0px 10px;line-height:1.6;">More than 580 arrests / 420+ for felonies</p> </li> <li> <p style="margin:0px 0px 10px;line-height:1.6;">Nearly 520,000 fentanyl pills</p> </li> <li> <p style="margin:0px 0px 10px;line-height:1.6;">More than 5 pounds of methamphetamine<br></p> </li> <li> <p style="margin:0px 0px 10px;line-height:1.6;">Seized more than 40 weapons all of which were taken from prohibited possessors.</p> </li> </ul> <p style="margin:0px 0px 10px;line-height:1.6;">“Last week, we rolled out our <a href="/newsroom/police/2771" target="_blank">Crime Reduction Plan</a> to give the Department a blueprint for addressing crime. That plan focuses on going after the small percentage of people committing the majority of crime," Chief Sullivan said. “Operation Summer Shield did exactly that. We targeted the most violent people with outstanding warrants and prohibited possessors."</p> <p style="margin:0px 0px 10px;line-height:1.6;">While this was only a five-day operation, the planning and coordination took seven weeks. This included meeting with our partners, identifying internal resources and using data driven intelligence to preform records checks on violent offenders with felony warrants.</p> <p style="margin:0px 0px 10px;line-height:1.6;">More than 230 of those arrested had a criminal history that included violence and 16 absconders of the Department of Corrections were located and brought back to prison.</p> <p style="margin:0px 0px 10px;line-height:1.6;">This operation cleared four homicide cases and close to 700 active warrants. Additionally, every gun seized during this operation were found to be in the possession of a prohibited possessor.</p> <p style="margin:0px 0px 10px;line-height:1.6;">“This is an incredible example of what can be done when we all work together and put the safety of our community first," Chief Sullivan said. “I am proud of the work that everyone a part of this operation did."</p> <p style="margin:0px 0px 10px;line-height:1.6;">This operation was successful because of the incredible partnerships with our local, state and federal law enforcement agencies. Each of the following agencies played a significant role in Operation Summer Shield:</p> <ul> <li> <p style="margin:0px 0px 10px;line-height:1.6;">Maricopa County Attorney's Office</p> </li> <li> <p style="margin:0px 0px 10px;line-height:1.6;">Maricopa County Sheriff's Office</p> </li> <li> <p style="margin:0px 0px 10px;line-height:1.6;">Arizona Department of Public Safety</p> </li> <li> <p style="margin:0px 0px 10px;line-height:1.6;">United States Attorney's Office, District of Arizona</p> </li> <li> <p style="margin:0px 0px 10px;line-height:1.6;">Phoenix Division of the Federal Bureau of Investigations</p> </li> <li> <p style="margin:0px 0px 10px;line-height:1.6;">Phoenix Field Office of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives</p> </li> <li> <p style="margin:0px 0px 10px;line-height:1.6;">Phoenix Division of the Drug Enforcement Administration</p> </li> <li> <p style="margin:0px 0px 10px;line-height:1.6;">Homeland Security Investigations Phoenix</p> </li> <li> <p style="margin:0px 0px 10px;line-height:1.6;">U.S. Marshals District of Arizona.</p> </li> </ul> <p style="margin:0px 0px 10px;line-height:1.6;">“I want to thank the Phoenix Police Department for making this effort a priority to keep our community safe," Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell said. “Now, my team has the opportunity to hold those who committed these crimes accountable to the law."</p> <p style="margin:0px 0px 10px;line-height:1.6;">The partnerships with local, state and federal agencies are an important part in keeping our community safe, not just during this operation, but every day.</p> <p style="margin:0px 0px 10px;line-height:1.6;">“The Marshal Service is proud and honored to serve side-by-side with the professional men and women of the Phoenix Police Department," said Acting U.S. Marshal Van Bayless. “Their unwavering dedication and commitment to the community, while safely removing those who do harm to the citizens of this great city, was evident during this operation and every day on patrol. We look forward to continuing the legacy of support and collaborative efforts our agencies have fostered over the years; staying resolute to reduce violent crime and provide safer neighborhoods for all our families and future generations."</p> <p style="margin:0px 0px 10px;line-height:1.6;">Collectively, the Phoenix Police Department and our community can work together to make Phoenix safer every day. The department encourages the community to be an active participant in the clearance of outstanding warrants. If you know anyone who has an outstanding warrant, please contact the Phoenix Police Department or <a href="https://silentwitness.org/" target="_blank">Silent Witness</a> to remain anonymous. <br></p><p style="margin:0px 0px 10px;line-height:1.6;">Watch the press conference on Phoenix Police held regarding this operation <a target="_blank" href="https://youtu.be/PKgz3T2i884">YouTube​</a>.<br><br></p> </html></div>https://phoenix.gov/policeNewspoliceOperation Summer Shield graphic with partner logosPolice@phoenixpoliceOperation Summer ShieldPolice Main PIOphoenixpd.pio@phoenix.govhttps://www.phoenix.gov/newssite/Lists/MediaContact/Attachments/36/Police2.pngPhoenixPolice
