-------- LOS ALTOS POLICE LEADS MULTI-AGENCY TRAFFIC SAFETY EVENT ------------

Los Altos, Calif. — November 20, 2024 — On Tuesday, November 19, the Los
Altos Police Department led a coordinated Group Enforcement event in Los
Altos to improve traffic safety and reduce collisions.

Between 8-11 AM, 18 traffic enforcement officers (on police motorcycles) from
various agencies throughout Santa Clara County worked collaboratively to
provide concentrated traffic education and enforcement. This involved
conducting traffic enforcement stops for California Vehicle Code violations,
focusing on school zones in the morning hours. After the morning school
traffic ended, officers shifted their attention to areas with
higher-than-average collision rates and those known for frequent citizen
complaints.

During the event, officers issued 53 citations.

The Los Altos Police Department would like to thank the following
participating agencies:

* Campbell Police Department
* Milpitas Police Department
* Mountain View Police Department
* Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office
* Santa Clara Police Department
* Sunnyvale Department of Public Safety

“These efforts prioritized the safety of our most vulnerable road
users—children walking and biking to school—while addressing problematic
areas within the City. We are grateful for our law enforcement partners’
help in achieving this,” said Chief Saskia Lagergren. “As the daylight
hours decrease and rain increases, we remind everyone to be extra cautious
and vigilant as you travel the streets.”
