Cd'A PD makes family violence arrests

Five family violence suspects were arrested and dozens more were put on notice this week by members of the Coeur d’Alene Police Department.

Coeur d’Alene officers participated Wednesday in the 14th annual National Family Violence Apprehension Detail, a nationwide effort to identify and apprehend as many individuals as possible with outstanding warrants related to domestic violence, child abuse and elder abuse crimes.

Prior to the event, a number of local suspects with active arrest warrants were identified. By 10 p.m. Wednesday, this enforcement effort resulted in the five arrests. All five were booked into the Kootenai County jail. In addition to the arrests made, officers conducted 33 arrest warrant service attempts.

The Annual National Family Violence Apprehension Detail was a collaborative effort by approximately 240 law enforcement agencies across America.
