In a citywide sweep of high-priority suspects with outstanding warrants, KCPD officers arrested 38 people the week of Nov. 11^th.

One arrest was a shooter at an area high school basketball game earlier this year, and another was a fentanyl dealer who sold drugs, causing the death of a person he sold to.

So far, there have been 38 arrests, 69 warrants cleared, one rifle and five handguns recovered, along with meth, fentanyl pills, and PCP.

Several members of a Kansas City gang that had been associated with violent crimes in Kansas City were arrested in the sweep. KCPD worked with the U.S. Marshals Service, the FBI, and the IRS in this effort.
