Safe Streets nets 42 arrests in latest takedowns

CUMBERLAND — During the past three months, the Safe Streets Program has conducted warrant initiatives to address the goal of warrant reduction within Cumberland and surrounding areas.

Since the program’s inception, a total of 77 suspects have been apprehended, 106 arrest warrants served and 10 individuals with violent criminal histories arrested.  

The most recent initiative, conducted over the last two weeks, has netted 42 arrests, officials said.

“This recent warrant initiative, February 19 to March 1, 2013, we asked for citizen participation and the citizens are to be commended for providing law enforcement with information of the whereabouts and information leading to the apprehension and arrest of numerous wanted persons,” said David Goad, Safe Streets project coordinator.

“It is certainly a significant benefit for law enforcement to receive calls from our fellow citizens and we appreciate their involvement in helping us take wanted offenders off the streets.

“This area has a great track record and excellent relationship with the citizens of Cumberland and throughout Allegany County in their desire to assist police by helping to reduce crime and keep our communities safe.”
