On Wednesday October 16, 2024, the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office led the 21st annual Family Violence Warrant Sweep, working with law enforcement agencies across the country to arrest people with outstanding family-violence warrants.
This year, 127 agencies in 15 states joined the effort. Across Oregon, 14 law enforcement agencies participated to include the Sheriff’s Offices of Deschutes, Jefferson, Tillamook, Yamhill, and Washington Counties.
In Clackamas County, the Warrant Sweep kicked off with a welcome by Clackamas County Sheriff Angela Brandenburg to more than 40 CCSO deputies, parole & probation officers, and officers from the Canby, Gladstone, Happy Valley, Lake Oswego, Milwaukie, Molalla, Oregon City, West Linn, and Wilsonville Police Departments.
While the national numbers are still being collected, deputies and officers in Clackamas County arrested 19 people on existing warrants and made more than 200 additional warrant service attempts.
