Targeted Crime Suppression-Operation Consequences; September 22, through September 28, 2025 

September 30, 2025 – San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department officials report that between September 22 and September 28, 2025, investigators from the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department – Gangs/Narcotics Division, along with deputies from patrol stations, and personnel from partnering agencies served four search warrants and contacted suspects throughout the county. Additionally, the San Bernardino Movement Against Street Hoodlums (SMASH) Street Enforcement Team (SET) conducted proactive patrols in the town of Apple Valley and surrounding jurisdictions.

Over the one-week period, investigators contacted gang members and people prohibited from possessing firearms. During their investigations, 15 firearms were seized, one of which was a ghost gun. Investigators made nine felony arrests during the operational period. 

The San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors authorized funds for county-wide crime suppression. The intent is to provide additional funding to the Sheriff’s Department, allowing for increased law enforcement services related to quality-of-life issues affecting the communities in our county.



Operation Consequences will focus on conducting targeted crime suppression operations in the High Desert and the Sheriff’s jurisdiction surrounding the city of San Bernardino. The operation will include personnel from the Sheriff’s Gangs/Narcotics Division, Specialized Enforcement Division, patrol stations, California Highway Patrol, San Bernardino Police Department, San Bernardino County Probation, and Department of Homeland Security Investigations. Operation Consequences will take place over the next several months to curb violent crime, disrupt and dismantle targeted criminal street gangs, and locate and arrest criminals who are illegally possessing, manufacturing, and trafficking firearms.
