Between March and December 11, Police executed 442 outstanding warrants, 304 people were arrested for open drug use, and 2,054 doses of methamphetamine and fentanyl were removed from the street.
In addition, police recovered six stolen vehicles, seized numerous weapons, and documented 403 positive interactions with business owners and members of the public.
