Stolen weapon discovered from a wanted suspect during a traffic stop

Traffic stops are one of the most dangerous parts of an officer’s day. They never know who is in the car, what they may have, or what the mindset of the driver or passenger is when they walk up to the door. Traffic stops happen every single day for a variety of reasons, from speeding, and red-light violations, to DUIs and stolen vehicle hits. These stops are necessary to keep the city safe, and they make a difference in our efforts to reduce crime and locate wanted persons.

The officers in this incident showed their professionalism and training down to the last detail. These are the daily encounters that never make the headlines, but these unsensational encounters are key to crime reduction and public safety. We are proud of how these officers handled this incident and the work they all do each day. Another stolen gun off the streets and another wanted person held to account for their actions. Job well done!
