Cook County Sheriff’s deputies fanned out with three south suburban police departments and the Illinois State Police over the weekend in a concentrated enforcement sweep that officials say led to hundreds of police contacts and multiple guns taken off the street. The Organized Crime Division teamed up with Dixmoor, Robbins and Posen for a South Suburban Safety Initiative built around coordinated roll calls and heavier patrols. Authorities said the one-day detail produced 559 total interactions, from traffic stops and citations to arrests and firearm recoveries. The sheriff’s office announced the operation late Saturday on its social feed.
