“Our community has made it clear that public safety in the downtown area is a significant concern, and we are taking those concerns seriously,” said Lieutenant Jason Tanski, Commander of the Lake Superior Violent Offender Task Force. “Our mission is to identify individuals responsible for serious criminal activity and hold them accountable, particularly those who exploit people struggling with addiction and use violence, threats, or the illegal drug trade to victimize others. We will continue working with our law enforcement and community partners to disrupt this activity, protect vulnerable individuals, and improve safety throughout downtown.”
The LSVOTF remains committed to identifying, locating, and apprehending individuals who pose a threat to public safety. These enforcement efforts are conducted in coordination with law enforcement partners, social service providers, and community stakeholders to address both criminal activity and the broader public safety concerns affecting the downtown area.
