Desde enero 1er, Oxnard officers have made seventy-two (72) firearms-related arrests. The Oxnard Police Department has seized one-hundred and seventy-five (175) firearms year-to-date and we will continue to focus our efforts on prohibited persons in possession of firearms.
As an additional component of the Oxnard Police Department’s Operación segura y resistente initiative, the Department continued to increase its special patrols in the months of August and September. These additional patrols augmented our normal patrol staffing and were focused on contacting individuals that may be responsible for committing a high number of crimes including a series of street robberies occurring in the Southwinds neighborhood in south Oxnard.
- En septiembre 13, 2014, investigators from our Violent Crimes Unit (VCU) were conducting directed patrol in South Oxnard in response to recent a series of street robberies when they conducted a vehicle stop in the area of Clara Street and South “J” Street. A 25-year old passenger in the vehicle was contacted during a probation search and found to be in possession of a .22 pistola calibre. The subject was arrested for carrying a concealed firearm in a vehicle.
- En septiembre 15, 2014, VCU investigators conducted several compliance checks throughout the city of Oxnard. The compliance checks were directed at those subjects who are prohibited from owning firearms and have a firearm(s) registered to them. en adición, investigators conducted several compliance checks on Post-Release Offenders (PRO). During the checks, dos (2) PRO offenders were arrested on various charges.
Officers will continue these focused enforcement efforts throughout the coming months as we know a small number of offenders are responsible for a disproportionately high amount of the city’s criminal activity.
