SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, CA — A focused law enforcement effort, Operation Consequences, took place across San Bernardino County from November 3 through November 9, 2025. This targeted crime suppression initiative involved personnel from the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department – Gangs/Narcotics Division, deputies from various patrol stations, and multiple partnering agencies.

The operation resulted in five felony arrests. Investigators seized a total of 16 firearms, which included ten conventional firearms and six ghost guns. The targets of these investigations included individuals identified as gang members and persons who are prohibited from possessing firearms.
Operation Consequences is supported by funding authorized by the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors for county-wide crime suppression. The stated intent of this funding is to enhance law enforcement services concerning quality-of-life issues within the county’s communities.
The operation is designed to conduct targeted suppression activities in the High Desert region and the Sheriff’s jurisdiction surrounding the City of San Bernardino. Future iterations of the operation will involve personnel from the Sheriff’s Gangs/Narcotics Division, Specialized Enforcement Division, patrol stations, the California Highway Patrol, San Bernardino Police Department, San Bernardino County Probation, and Department of Homeland Security Investigations.
