ers arrested or charged for registration violations, 3 related warrants served through arrests,
and 6 ancillary arrests made through this operation enforcement.
According to the Capt. Brad Smith of the Criminal Investigations Division, "Cit-
rus County was very proactive in this operation. Our deputies and crime analysts worked
diligently to make sure these individuals were all accounted for and following state law. We
follow up with these particular individuals on a regular basis, and when we can be a part
of an operation like this, it s just another way we can protect our children and community
members from harm."
