Last weekend’s Operation Safer Streets gang enforcement initiative, which took place Friday afternoon and evening, resulted in 20 arrests involving one felony, 19 misdemeanors, and one outstanding warrant. Seized were 10 grams of marijuana, 43.5 grams of cocaine, one vehicle, and $3,086 cash.
At least once a week, officers and supervisors representing each of the six precincts and the Specialized Investigations Division (SID) partner together to implement strategies to combat gang crimes and activities in various areas of Nashville.
Friday’s enforcement consisted of eleven SID detectives and seven patrol officers. Areas targeted include the Madison area, 14th, and 16th Avenues North at Ireland Street, Clifton Avenue, Nolensville Pike at Harding Place, the James Cayce public housing development, North 2nd Street, and the Dellway Villa Apartment complex.
