“These types of investigations into the unlawful possession of firearms is paramount to public safety,” said California Statewide Law Enforcement Association (CSLEA) President Alan Barcelona.  “Each law enforcement officer involved in this investigation and the service of the search warrant deserves our gratitude.  In addition, I’m thankful they all returned home safely to their families.”
