Al principio de 2014, the Oxnard Police Department launched the Operación segura y resistente initiative, así como el equipo de ataque de armas de fuego (RÁPIDO) liderado por la Unidad de Crímenes Violentos, para quitar proactivamente las armas de fuego de personas prohibidas en la ciudad. The objective of the initiative and FAST was to reduce gun violence in Oxnard through education, intervention, and enforcement.

The importance of this initiative has been magnified as the City of Oxnard continues to address issues associated with the Post Release Offender (PRO) Programa, creado por Bill Bill 109 (the “2011 Realineación de la seguridad pública”), which was effective October 1, 2011. This program mandated that individuals sentenced to non-violent, no serio, or non-sex offenses serve their sentences in county jails instead of state prison. The City of Oxnard has approx. two-hundred and twenty-six (226) of these PRO offenders currently residing within our jurisdiction. This represents approx. 35.5% of the PRO population living in Ventura County. The Oxnard Police Department made three-hundred and five (305) felony arrests of PRO offenders in 2014. These PRO offenders often have serious and violent criminal backgrounds that are not considered prior to release under AB 109. Liberar bajo AB 109 is based on the offender’s most recent commitment offense (prior convictions are not considered).

During the months of November and December, the Oxnard Police Department seized twenty-nine (29) firearms through directed patrols, probation and parole searches, llamadas de servicio, and the services of search warrants. Sixteen (16) of those firearms were seized from persons being arrested.

En noviembre 7, 2014, Jesse Olivares, a 43-year old Oxnard resident, was contacted by Special Enforcement Unit (SU) officers during a traffic stop and found to be in possession of controlled substances. During a follow-up probation search at his residence, un loaded .40 pistola semiautomática calibre se encuentra. Olivares was arrested for numerous firearms violations including being a prohibited person in possession of a firearm (He is currently on probation).
En noviembre 23, 2014, Alvaro Cervantes, a 30-year old Oxnard resident, was contacted by SEU officers during a traffic stop in the 300 block of “B” Street. During a probation search of the vehicle, un loaded .40 caliber semi-automatic handgun was located where Cervantes was seated. Cervantes was arrested for numerous firearms violations including being a felon in possession of a firearm (He is currently on probation and had previously been served with the Colonia Chiques civil gang injunction).
En diciembre 26, 2014, a aprox. 11:00 p.m., Officer Rodney Spicer Jr. contacted a group of gang members in the 1800 block of MacArthur Place. Uno de los temas, Daniel Arciga, a 19-year old Oxnard resident, was found to be in possession of a loaded .25 caliber semi-automatic handgun. Arciga was subsequently arrested for being a felon in possession of a firearm.
En diciembre 27, 2014, a aprox. 3:00 a.m., Officer Rodney Spicer Jr. attempted to contact a 17-year old Oxnard resident in the area of Commercial Avenue and Oxnard Boulevard. The juvenile fled from Officer Spicer but was apprehended a short time later. The juvenile was found to be in possession of a loaded .25 caliber semi-automatic handgun. He was subsequently arrested for being a felon in possession of a firearm.
