🎉🙏THANK YOU TO OUR RESIDENTS 🙏🎉

This dude loved to flee from police. Numerous times from multiple agencies, the last from our partners in Valley View. He thought he was in the clear until our fantastic residents called to report a suspicious vehicle with suspicious activity was in their neighborhood. We handled it from there. The driver is under arrest facing numerous felonies for weapons and fleeing, across several agencies.

God bless you all for being willing to partner with us, stand with us, and be our eyes and ears in our city. No technology can ever replace what you can offer us. We are forever grateful.

To those involved in this incident specifically… job well done, thank you!

Two more apprehensions this week. Both involved outside agencies which we are so proud to work with and assist as we pursue our common goals.

Folks, this is the reality of what violent criminal apprehension looks like. This isn’t for speeding or expired plates. Remember, for every violent criminal out there, there’s a string of victims they’ve left behind. Victims we see, and talk with, and feel the pain they’ve been caused. Those that perpetrate those crimes need to be held accountable. Moreover, their potential future victims need to be protected.

None of what we post is an attempt to glamorize inherently dangerous actions. We invest significant resources into proper equipment and training for our Officers to perform these actions as safely as possible. This is what it looks like, in real time, in real life, with fugitives actively evading capture. God bless our Officers for being willing to do it.

Thank you everyone for your continued support.

Early Sunday morning this gentleman decided to flee from a few neighboring agencies and ultimately enter into GH where his stop-sticked vehicle finally crashed. He fled on foot and tried hiding in an unlocked vehicle. Too bad for him he didn’t know he was being watched the whole time. He was taken into custody.

When agencies work together and share resources the outcome is great. So, whether you start your nonsense in GH, or bring it into GH, it’s going to end the same way.

Great job to all!

After 4 minutes of refusing to stop for Officers, we figured it easiest to just stop him ourselves. Grappler.✌️
