"The BOI solves fraud cases, dismantles smash-and-grab retail crews, fights human trafficking, uncovers environmental crimes and independently investigates child deaths and any time a police officer shoots and kills someone."
"With five DA investigators and a handful of other officers, the BOI's Gun Violence Task Force (GVTF) has taken close to 500 guns off the streets, with 215 just last year."
"Taking possession of those guns is not for the faint of heart. The tactics can be so dangerous that sometimes, the squad is assisted by SJPD's vaunted SWAT team - called MERGE."
Santa Clara County is served by various law enforcement agencies, including the District Attorney's Bureau of Investigation (BOI). The BOI tackles fraud, human trafficking, and gun violence. Its Gun Violence Task Force has removed nearly 500 guns from the streets, including ghost guns and assault rifles. The team, led by DA Lieutenant Michael Montonye, often collaborates with the SJPD's SWAT team for safety. Recent incidents highlight the ongoing challenges of gun possession and threats to community safety.
