July 19 – July 20, 2012


Today’s Good News
A Major Crimes detective recently wrote to commend Second Precinct Focus Mission Team Tactical Unit Officers Paul Cline, Obie Arrington, Cynthia Williams, Nicholas Caesar, Frank Scarpa and Richard McTernan for their assistance with a dual surveillance regarding suspects wanted in a drive-by shooting that injured two people.

“These officers should be recognized for their professionalism, diligence, sound tactics and positive attitudes,” the detective wrote. “All officers mobilized quickly on short notice and all willingly stayed beyond their shift to assist with this operation. Thanks to their efforts, the shooter was arrested without incident and the assault weapon was recovered along with more than 9 ounces of marijuana, pills and ammunition. This operation could not have been successful without their efforts.”
