This past weekend our patrol officers on D Platoon conducted Operation GREEN TURKEY. This was an effort to serve outstanding arrest warrants on as many offenders as possible in order to get them off the street, and make our City's Christmas safer.
Over the course of the Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, GPD patrol officers located and arrested more than 30 offenders and wanted persons. They were able to do this in between their regular duties, calls for service, responses to car crashes, and other calls..and it demonstrates a real dedication to our community.
Lt. White, Sgt. Liverman, and all the officers of D Platoon deserve a special thank you for their efforts. Hopefully, their hard work will help keep Greenville safe for the holidays.
Incidentally, the name GREEN TURKEY is a reference to the prison food these offenders will eat instead of the home-cooked meals made by mama. And while they are in jail, they will not have an opportunity to victimize others.
Happy Holidays, everyone!
