I worked on my NET project Friday night and went out with Officers Ron Jersey and Jessi Pizarro again. It was a long night that started slow and ended with Ron and Jessi making an arrest and getting a hand gun off the streets. It was their second seized gun in one week. Following a police shootout on Thursday night on Stratford Avenue, we returned to the area and the team began to aggressively seek out any more potential trouble. In brief, eagle-eyed Ron sighted a potential drug deal, a short foot chase began, and one of the two suspects threw a handgun during the chase. Below are a few edits from the night. (Click on them to enlarge.)

8:20:28 PM: Officer Ron Jersey sits in an abandoned apartment in a housing projects complex during a drug surveillance mission.

9:16:50 PM: Ron and Jessi handcuff one of two suspects following a foot chase after a suspected drug deal.

9:28:42 PM: A handgun is found and recovered near a car along a driveway behind an apartment building.

9:49:02 PM: To protect the identity of a witness, police use bright spot lights to blind the suspect as the witness views from a police cruiser. The witness confirmed that the suspect, a 16-year-old male, was previously in possession of the recovered handgun.
