TULARE COUNTY – A multi-agency probation and parole compliance sweep netted 10 arrests and multiple probation and parole violations.
Gang detectives from the Tulare County Sheriff’s Department, Exeter, Farmersville, Visalia, Tulare and Dinuba police departments, agents from California State Parole and Tulare County Probation, and investigators with the District Attorney’s Office all participated in the compliance detail.

In addition to the arrests, detectives also recovered three hand guns, narcotics, and a stolen off-road vehicle. They also conducted 21 gang field interviews.
