MPD’s
Weekly Firearm Recoveries:
August
13, 2018 to August 20, 2018
(Washington,
DC) – Every day, the Metropolitan Police Department works to recover and
investigate illegal firearms in Washington D.C. In addition to our patrol
officers, the Department has specialized units—such as the Gun Recovery Unit
(GRU), Criminal Interdiction Unit (CIU), and Crime Suppression Teams (CSTs)—who
work tirelessly to safely and respectfully secure illegal firearms and get them
off of our streets. From Monday, August 13, 2018, through Monday, August
20, 2018, MPD detectives and officers recovered 31 firearms in
the District of Columbia.
Note: This is not
a comprehensive list of all guns recovered in the District of Columbia.
Among the firearms
recovered were:
Wednesday, August
15, 2108
- A Llama Minimax 45 .45 caliber handgun was recovered in the 1700 block of North Capitol Street, Northwest. CCN: 18-135-908
It is one of MPD’s
main goals to safely remove illegal firearms from DC streets to reduce crime
and the fear of crime in the community. The responsibility to recover
firearms falls on the -shoulders of all MPD officers. We also thank
members of the community for their help in creating safe neighborhoods.
The Metropolitan
Police Department also recovers firearms with the assistance of anonymous tips
made through MPD’s anonymous tip line. Anyone who has information
regarding gun recoveries should call police at 202-727-9099.
Additionally, information may be submitted to the TEXT TIP LINE by
text messaging 50411. The Metropolitan Police Department
currently offers a reward of up to $2,500 to anyone who
provides information that leads to the recovery of an illegal firearm hidden in
the District of Columbia.
