Operation Consequences will continue to focus on conducting targeted crime suppression operations in the High Desert and the Sheriff’s jurisdiction surrounding the city of San Bernardino.

The nearly year-long operation also includes personnel from the sheriff’s Gangs/Narcotics, Specialized Enforcement division as well as California Highway Patrol, SBC Probation, and Department of Homeland Security Investigations.

There are currently 6,568 parolees at large in California and 534 parolees at large in San Bernardino County, authorities reported.

Operation Consequences will continue to take place throughout the years to curb violent crime, disrupt and dismantle targeted criminal street gangs, and locate and arrest criminals who are illegally possessing, manufacturing, and trafficking firearms, sheriff’s officials said.
