Crime fighter: Votf broke off a record year with violent arrests from violent crimes in 2024 with violent arrests

Marysville –The Task Force (Votf) of the Pacific Northwest Empted perpetrator had a busy year in 2024 with 206 arrests, 38 firearms, 65 arrests of sexual assault, 23 murder arrests and 68 Doc arrests. Last year was also the most murder arrests that the Task Force has been founded in 2013.

Despite arrest that reached an all -time high, and these are often criminals who repeatedly commit crimes.

The Votf is commissioned by the Western District of Washington (USMS) of the US Marshals Service (USMS) and includes twenty-seven federal, state and local law enforcement authorities. The Task Force specializes in having violent refugees because of crimes such as murder, assault, sexual crimes, failure to register, find and arrange violations of firearms and violations of the probation of the federal government.

MPs and officers who are assigned to the Votf are referred to as Task Force Officers (TFO). TFOs are deputied as special deputy US marshals, which grants you the authority to search for and carry out arrest and search for arrest warrants that support the Federal Task Force according to the title of 18.

The Dream team of full-time detectives includes members from the US marshal office, the sheriff office of the Snohomish County, the WA State Dept. Last year, detectives that the police represented by Lynnwood and the Everett Police Department were also part of the squad, but due to personnel problems that they needed elsewhere in their agencies.

A large number of officers that represent different cities benefit both the task force and its respective cities by creating a large selection of cover.

On the one hand, the Votf supports the patrol officers by pursuing arrest commands that they may not have the ability to concentrate on the level of personnel or carry out the necessary investigations.

Since its foundation, the Votf has been responsible for more than 2,700 arrests.

“I think they would have chaos here without law and order” Detective Leo told the Lynnwood Times. “I enjoy our freedom and protect our freedom.”

Leo's greatest learning experience with the Votf occurred just a few months after entering the troops. After the Deputy Luke Robinson, the lead over the case, had worked on a case to attempt to murder in Oregon, the suspect experienced a pension bar in the early evenings. Leo and Robinson stopped monitoring at the bar and discovered the suspect within 15 minutes of their arrival. They demanded backups, but the suspect went off before the backup could arrive. Although the group had worked for six months in this case, Leo had to let the suspect go because the “timing was not correct”.

“It was the main time in the city center of Renton … You are persecuted with this guy, he hits someone, he hits a car or a child who crosses the street. People who are not invested in police officers? I signed up as a police officer. I understand the risk, but a mother and her child who went along the street did not register for it. ” Detective Leo told the Lynnwood Times. “This unit is proud to make good decisions.”

The Lynnwood Times was last in 2021 with the Votf with the Votf with the along when Detective Leo found out cases.

He was delighted to report largely there, was largely an increase in civilian cooperation, but the challenges remain that criminals have been more violent and recently encouraged – at least according to his observations.

Detective Luke Robinson with the Votf demonstrated Detective Leo's observations with adding “It seems more, and more people have weapons” and the weight of the drugs that are distributed, at least since its part of the strength seem to have shot up.

The cases of 2024, which noticed the Votf detective, include an incident in which a suspicious was involved in a white ring of the supremacists in the Tacoma area. This man and another suspect were sought because he broke into a house in the Maple Valley and killed a woman, her partner and her horse.

One of the suspects was discovered in Pierce County in a stolen car and persecuted to a police, but left his vehicle and started shooting the persecution officials. He was killed by officers who returned fire.

The other suspect and the alleged ring leader of the operation was followed by the Votf in the Hilltop district of Tacoma. He was surrounded by Votf officers and had known that he had weapons. He claimed that he believed that his partner had died in crimes. When he put his hand in his pockets in his pockets, he had reason to assume that he had a weapon and began with the negotiation tactic. In the end, these tactics were successful and the officials were able to grasp it without incidents.

The two suspects in question were Joshua Jones (34) and Brandon Gernner, 41. Jones was charged by King County's public prosecutors in February 2024 because of the double murder.

Another arrest that occurred to me when he was asked involved his South Everett address and arrested him without fired shots, even though he initially left his house with a charged AR-15 attack weapon. The Task Force later swept his house and found several drugs and weapons that were confiscated.

The Votf is currently available, but the detectives say that the competition is “violent”. When considering bringing someone on board, the Votf is looking for patrol police officers who not only work with the arrests, but also write good reports, intelligently and demonstrate the maturity that the Votf team attributes to its unity.
