OPERATION G. .P.
Date: September 12, 2005
To:
Subject:
This Letter to the Mayor and City Commission is to provide information on the Police
Department's effort to curtail the amount of robberies occurring in the South District of the
City through Operation G.R.I.P.
Operation G. R. I. P. (Grab Robberies In Progress) was instituted approximately five weeks
ago to combat the number of robberies occurring during peak periods in the Entertainment
area of the South District. This proactive police work was a combination of undercover
detectives from the Criminal Investigations Unit and uniform officers from the Patrol
Division. This joint effort resulted in 103 arrests (57 misdemeanors and 46 felonies). As a
result of this operation, there has been a 32% reduction in robberies citywide, and a 45%
reduction in robberies in the targeted area of the South District.
