FBI Little Rock Releases ‘Summer Heat’ Results
Part of a Nationwide Initiative to Crush Violent Crime
LITTLE ROCK, AR / October 9, 2025 —The FBI Little Rock Field Office, in coordination with our federal, state and local law enforcement partners, made 90 arrests over the past three months as part of the “Summer Heat” operation, the FBI’s nationwide effort to crush violent crime.
“Operation Summer Heat demonstrates what can be accomplished when law enforcement agencies at every level come together with a shared goal: protecting the communities we serve,” said FBI Little Rock Special Agent in Charge Alicia D. Corder. “The FBI and our partners remain committed to targeting those who bring violence and drugs into our neighborhoods.”
Between June 24 and September 20, all FBI field offices participated in the multi-pronged offensive to crush violent crime. The FBI surged resources alongside state and local partners, executing federal warrants on violent criminals and fugitives, dismantling violent gangs, identifying and rescuing child victims, and resolving violent crime cases in Indian Country.
In Arkansas, the collective efforts of the FBI along with our partners resulted in 90 arrests, 24 indictments, and 15 convictions. In addition, law enforcement officers conducted 37 drug seizures and recovered 32 firearms as part of Operation Summer Heat.
Nationally, Summer Heat led to 8,629 arrests, with more than 6,500 falling under the FBI’s Violent Crime and Gang program. In addition, agents and intelligence professionals investigating violent crimes against children identified or located 1,053 victim children. Summer Heat operations also led to the seizure of 44,569 kilograms of cocaine, 421 kilograms of fentanyl, and 2,281 weapons.
