Our Organized Crime Enforcement team took 62 firearms including AR-15 semi-automatic rifles off the streets & laid 260 charges in Project Barbell. We're advocating for bail reform & legislative changes to better address gun violence. See my full remarks: https://t.co/JJVpd21dIt

The attending officers included new recruits and coach officers. I am relieved they are safe and very proud of what they did yesterday for this person-in-crisis & their family.

Extraordinary rescue by @TPS31Div officers who put themselves at risk, used their training & de-escalation to save a life. A person in distress was on a ledge 12 stories up. ETF & MCIT were called but the situation escalated quickly & the officers made the rescue. Outstanding.
