NORTH VERNON, Ind. – Officers from the North Vernon Police Department joined deputies from the Jennings County Sheriff’s Office, plus officers from Indiana State Parole, Jennings County Superior Court probation, and the Jennings County Circuit Court Probation in a county-wide enforcement sweep. Law enforcement aided parole and probation with compliance checks and conducted saturation points in high crime areas.
According to the Police Department, the sweep yielded a total of 28 arrests on Wednesday. Charges included possession of marijuana, meth, syringes, and active warrants.
Chief James Webster stated, “these sweeps allow the departments to pool their resources and perform functions no one department could do on its own. They also strengthen the working relationships between the departments. A great amount of planning goes into bringing the elements together to have a successful operation like this one.”
