On October 24th, law enforcement officers from numerous agencies came together to perform a planned law enforcement saturation in Sharp County that was planned and organized by the Sharp County Sheriff’s Office.
The purpose of the operation was to target individuals that had active warrants for their arrest, to do compliance checks on individuals on probation and parole, compliance checks on registered sex offenders, traffic enforcement and also to perform community oriented policing.
The saturation began early Thursday morning and continued until near midnight. With 48 officers working in Sharp County, the saturation was a complete success.
Here is the number of contacts made.
Traffic stops -171
Arrest -29 felony
Home visit (compliance checks and probation checks -11
Still searching for several more with active warrants
Total call for service -113
The saturation would not have been possible without the help of all the law enforcement agencies that assisted, the sheriff continued by saying “he’d personally like to thank all of them”
