Operation Triple Beam was a U.S. Marshals-led collaborative campaign with the Kansas City, Kansas, Police Department that brought together federal, local and state law enforcement in the Kansas City area from March 5 - April 27, 2018. Focused on the Central Avenue corridor of Kansas City, an area impacted by significant gang violence, the operation targeted the most violent gang members and organizations. The operation resulted in 195 arrests, 94 of which were gang members or gang affiliated. In addition, 60 firearms, over $115,000 in crime-related currency, and more than 41 pounds of narcotics were seized.

The Operation Triple Beam model has proven to be effective throughout the nation as a method of reducing street level gang violence through the targeting of gang members and those actively involved in criminal activity. Through collaboration and strategic investigations, investigators remove dangerous criminal elements from the street while seizing the tools used to continue these illegal activities – firearms, narcotics and cash.
