Authorities say the effort is part of a larger county initiative to curb violent crime and reduce quality-of-life issues. The San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors authorized funding to support the Sheriff’s Department in conducting enhanced crime suppression operations countywide.
Operation will continue over the coming months
“Operation Consequences” will continue over the coming months, focusing on the High Desert region and jurisdictions surrounding the City of San Bernardino.
The multi-agency operation involves personnel from the Sheriff’s Gangs/Narcotics and Specialized Enforcement divisions, local patrol stations, the California Highway Patrol, San Bernardino Police, County Probation, and Homeland Security Investigations.
Officials said the operation is intended to disrupt street gangs and identify individuals illegally possessing or trafficking firearms.
