Council Member Brewer inquires about nighttime raids on illegal cannabis shops that operate during evening hours to evade enforcement. Sheriff Miranda explains the Sheriff's Office's approach to addressing this issue.
- The Sheriff's Office has received information about locations operating in the evening hours
- Personnel hours and operations are adjusted to target these nighttime operations
- The Sheriff's Office works different days of the week and different hours to address this issue
- Specific data on the number of nighttime raids is not immediately available, but Sheriff Miranda offers to provide this information later

Some of the ones that I have seen these illegal cannabis shops, they closed during the day.
0:28:27
They open at night in order to evade you because they think the sheriff only comes during the day.
0:28:32
So my questions to you, do you have nighttime raids And if so, how many have you started them?
0:28:40
Are they successful?
0:28:41

Anthony Miranda
