This operation was part of an ongoing effort to ensure a safety zone around Los Angeles County Parks, with the ongoing goal and effort of keeping them free of vandalism and gang activity. The operation focused on individuals who are on probation, reside near the parks, and are believed to be involved with groups who have committed vandalism within the parks.
