“The goal is to join together law enforcement agencies nationwide to serve arrest warrants and make probable-cause arrests for crimes such as assault, violation of restraining orders, no-contact-order violations and any other family-violence related crimes,” according to Deputy Tony Keffer, Marshals task force coordinator for Lorain County. “It is our hope that together we can send a message to offenders throughout the U.S. that no matter where they flee, we will work together to find them and hold them accountable.”
According to Keffer, 170 law-enforcement agencies from 22 different states participated in last year’s sweep along with probation departments, district attorney’s offices, shelter organizations and community members.
Results from the 2011 sweep include:
