'It's going to take a multi-pronged approach to reduce violent crime in Cleveland'
The"surges" were conducted in Cleveland's Second, Third, Fourth and Fifth Precincts.
The partnership has conducted three law enforcement surges, each lasting two days and targeting specific high-crime areas in Cleveland. Using ballistic data from the National Integrated Ballistic Information Network, law enforcement determined that 10 of the 44 confiscated firearms had previously left shell casings at 23 other crime scenes.
In addition to covert programs, which law enforcement did not discuss in detail, authorities say that traffic stops, bar surveillance, parole officers and a helicopter were all used in the surges. “They use that as the pretext like, ‘Hey, we're pulling your own for this tinted window…Hey, I think I smelled the odor of marijuana. Hey, we're going to do a check on you and now they're doing the check to see if you got a warrant out for your arrest,’ things of that nature,” said Black Lives Matter Cleveland co-founder Kareem Henton
