Parole Agents and Law Enforcement Partners Arrest 13 During Sacramento Operation Golden Grizzly

A multi-agency parole compliance operation on June 3, 2026, led by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation's (CDCR) Division of Adult Parole Operations (DAPO) in Sacramento, resulted in 13 arrests, three new charges and two apprehensions of supervised persons at-large. Numerous checks of gang-affiliated people and others under parole supervision were successfully conducted.

"These compliance operations reflect the department's commitment to accountability, community safety, and successful reintegration," said DAPO Director Bryan Bishop. "DAPO thanks our local and state law enforcement agency partners for working side by side with our department to ensure a successful operation that strengthens public trust and helps keep our communities safe."

"Operation Golden Grizzly" was assisted by approximately 150 law enforcement officers from state and local agencies. There were no injuries or uses of force related to the operation.

Individuals on parole are required to adhere to special conditions of parole including obeying the law, refraining from firearm possession or other weapons and regularly reporting to their parole agent. DAPO uses many operational strategies in communities to ensure public safety, bring supervised people into compliance and provide them with needed resources.

Those found in violation of parole will face possible revocation of parole or new criminal charges in relation to parole violations.
