Dallas police arrested 98 fugitives during a month-long operation targeting violent felons.

The suspects had a combined arrest history exceeding 700 prior arrests.

Operation Justice Trail represents a key component of the department’s strategy to reduce violent crime by focusing on repeat offenders who drive much of the city’s criminal activity.

The Dallas Police Fugitive Unit partnered with the U.S. Marshals North Texas Fugitive Task Force for the May sweep. Together, they cleared 167 warrants and tracked down suspects across Dallas and beyond state lines.

Police Chief Daniel Comeaux launched the initiative as part of the department’s Violent Crime Reduction Plan. The strategy recognizes that a small group of criminals commits most violent offenses.

The Dallas County District Attorney’s Office also participated in the coordinated effort. Their involvement helped expedite warrant processing and case preparation.

Department officials released a comprehensive report detailing each fugitive’s charges and criminal background. The document underscores the extensive rap sheets of those captured during the 31-day operation.

By removing these repeat offenders from the streets, police aim to create a measurable impact on public safety. The arrests target individuals with histories of violent crimes rather than low-level offenses.
