Jackson was credited with helping solve a citywide series of commercial burglaries that began in December 2009, when he and Sergeant Broderick recognized a wanted burglary suspect on University Place on May 7. They followed the suspect for a few blocks into an adjacent precinct before stopping him. They found the suspect in possession of burglary tools and a laptop computer. Jackson learned that Crumbs bakeshop on University Place had been broken into earlier and a laptop was stolen. The suspect, Charles Carrillo, was indicted and 26 burglary cases over nine precincts, including six in the Village, were closed.
Thompson and Sivori, assigned to a Ninth Precinct plainclothes detail working on a series of nighttime commercial burglaries in the East Village, spotted a suspect checking the doors of businesses that were obviously closed. The officers came upon the suspect without being noticed, stopped and questioned him and found he was carrying a loaded .22 Smith & Wesson semiautomatic with one round in the chamber and eight more in the magazine. The suspect was also carrying another loaded magazine, a silencer and eight daggers. After an interview with the suspect, Thompson and Sivori obtained a search warrant for a storage facility he rented and found a 9-millimeter Glock semiautomatic, two silencers, a Taser and more ammunition.
