The 10-week operation, which ran from July 19 through Sept. 24, saw the arrests of 471 criminals, 72 of whom were known gang members, according to Bashir.
When it comes to charges, Bashir said that of those arrested, 28 were homicide suspects and 188 were aggravated suspects.
In addition, authorities also seized 95 weapons, 541 kilograms of narcotics and over $421,000.
"As long as we carry this badge, we're not going to let any shortcomings or anything that comes our way slow us down," Bashir said. "It makes our community safer that we're engaged."
During the news conference, Fort Bend County Sheriff Eric Fagan said the operation gave people their lives back and hopes the community continues working together to get criminals off the street.
