During the July 29 press conference, she announced this year’s recovery of weapons and drugs along with the arrest of 31 fugitives as part of ‘Operation Priority Takedown.’ This was the second part of the sweep that concentrated on perpetrators of violent crimes, outstanding warrants, and history of gun charges.
