MULT-JURISDICTIONS REPORT SUCCESS OF REGIONAL WARRANT ROUND-UP
Police Officers and City Marshals throughout the North Texas area conducted a region-wide warrant round-up the week of September 16-24. During this period of time, law enforcement officers from the North Texas Region spread out through the area to arrest individuals with outstanding warrants pending before their respective Municipal Courts. Officers from over 31 municipalities in Collin, Dallas, Denton, Johnson, Rockwall and Tarrant counties participated.
Persons with outstanding warrants were encouraged to contact the Municipal Court where their warrant was issued to make arrangements to clear their warrant to avoid being arrested in their homes or place of business.
Those jurisdictions participating in the warrant round-up are pleased to announce the success of this multi-jurisdictional warrant round-up.
Each participating city reported their results to Vicki Smith, Court Administrator for the City of Plano Municipal Court. Ms. Smith states the results represent 31 jurisdictions. A total of 7,573 warrants were cleared, valued at $2,351,926.62. Ms. Smith further reports that 1,841 of warrants cleared, were cleared by arrests made by other jurisdictions. The success of this region-wide round-up would indicate future round-ups can be expected.
Reporting jurisdictions and their results included here.
