“All of Broward County is safer following Operation Green Shield,” Broward Sheriff Gregory Tony said. “There are fewer violent criminals, including a number of gang members, guns and drugs off the streets as a result of this operation. The men and women of BSO worked together seamlessly, along with our law enforcement partners, to arrest those who try to wreak havoc and commit violent crimes in our communities.”

Operation Green Shield required countless hours of work and extensive cooperation across multiple specialized units within the Broward Sheriff’s Office. The Strategic Investigations Division, Criminal Investigations Division, SWAT team, V.I.P.E.R. (Violence Intervention Proactive Enforcement Response) Unit and Crime Suppression Teams in Broward Sheriff’s Office’s Deerfield Beach, Pompano Beach and Central Broward districts each played a crucial and substantive role in the success of Operation Green Shield.
