Zero Tolerance Operation: Poinciana, Buenaventura Lakes and West 192
Osceola County Sheriff’s deputies successfully conducted Operation Zero Tolerance which resulted in 163 arrests and 353 citations issued. In addition, deputies confiscated three guns. The three-day operation began July 17, 2008. Deputies from all areas of the agency including criminal investigations, community response, tourist policing, K-9, narcotics enforcement, agriculture/marine, motors, aggressive driving, gang, school resource, DUI traffic, robbery, patrol and reserves worked all areas of the operation in Buenaventura Lakes, Poinciana and West 192 from 7 p.m. to 2 a.m. In addition, other local agencies including the Osceola County Corrections Department and Juvenile Probation assisted.
Based on the Sheriff’s Office community-oriented policing mission, the goal was to reduce crime in these areas, while gathering valuable intelligence for detectives who will use this information to work existing and future cases.
This was the eighth time the Sheriff’s Office conducted such a large-scale operation involving almost all aspects of the Sheriff’s Office. The first took place in January, 2006, the second in June of 2006, the third in November 2006, the fourth in August 2007, the fifth in October 2007 and the sixth in January of this year, the seventh in April of this year. The result of all seven operations has been 660 arrests and 1,861 citations issued.

cop prohibitionists have turned entire areas of the country into drug infested crime zones. i wanted to buy a home in poinciana but learned about the drug/gang problems there. so i must now look elsewhere and spend more for a home of the same size.
rather than legalize drugs and putt the dealers out of business, they do the same raids over and over and over again expecting different results. here, they did this “zero tolerance” sweep, eight times previously but STILL the area is a drug ridden nightmare.
prohibition doesn’t work! learn from history folks. http://www.leap.org
[...] here’s the problem! the idiot cops keep doing the same thing over and over and over again, in this case eight times, expecting different results! the prohibitionists have created an environment of illegal drug activity that has rendered entire areas of the country unlivable yet they are staunchly opposed to legalization, which would put the drug dealers out of business overnight.
