Glendale police warns against firing guns to ‘celebrate’ New Year
Posted
The Glendale Police Department is reminding residents that discharging a firearm to celebrate the new year is a felony.
“As New Year’s Eve approaches, we often see and hear a common and potentially deadly problem - gun fire,” GPD stated in a Dec. 31 news release.
The police department and the City of Glendale are committed to a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to unlawful discharges of a firearm.
If caught, perpetrators will face felony charges, punishable by more than five years in prison.
To help combat this problem, the Glendale Police Department uses ShotSpotter, which is a resource to help police pinpoint the exact location where a gun has been fired. GPD uses ShotSpotter 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and 365 days a year.
Officers are dispatched to check each ShotSpotter activation that indicates a firearm was used. Detectives will be out on New Year’s Day to follow up on all ShotSpotter calls that patrol was dispatched through the evening and early morning hours.
