"Operation Summer Heat was launched over three months ago in an attempt to clean up the streets in cities across the United States. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) spearheaded this operation through its field offices around the country in conjunction with local and state law enforcement. The results were staggering, to say the least."
"Over the course of this sweep, the FBI made over 8,000 arrests and seized nearly 2,300 weapons. Not to mention, the FBI picked up hundreds of kilos of cocaine, meth, and fentanyl-which could have resulted in the deaths of millions of Americans. Along with the arrests and seizures, the Feds targeted violent gangs and trafficking networks, yielding indictments and convictions. Here, 24/7 Wall St. is taking a look at the broad strokes of Operation Summer Heat and what the FBI has to show for it."
"To determine the effects of Operation Summer Heat, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and its field offices. We ordered these field offices or cities alphabetically. We included information regarding the arrests, as well as the drugs and weapons that were seized. We also included some supplemental information about local operations. Note that not all totals were available, but we have included as much as was provided by the FBI."
Operation Summer Heat was a nationwide, multi-month law-enforcement sweep led by the FBI through its field offices in coordination with local and state partners to reduce violent crime, drug trafficking, and human trafficking. The operation yielded more than 8,000 arrests and the seizure of nearly 2,300 weapons, along with hundreds of kilograms of cocaine, methamphetamine, and fentanyl that posed major public-safety risks. The initiative targeted violent gangs and trafficking networks, producing indictments and convictions. Data from FBI field offices were reviewed and compiled, including arrests and seized drugs and weapons, though some totals were incomplete. Baltimore ranked fourth among listed field offices.
