15 street racing citations were issued from April 16-17 by the SAPD and their partner agencies

The SAPD in partnership with other agencies as part of STEARRD (Strategic Traffic Enforcement Against Racing & Reckless Driving) program conducted additional street racing enforcement.

From 04/16 – 04/17 their enforcement efforts resulted in:

• (15) Cites
• (4) Impounds
• (2) Arrest – Assault with a deadly weapon on a peace officer & felony evading and reckless driving

The SAPD has a zero tolerance policy for reckless driving / street racing and has made this issue a top priority. These activities have proven to be deadly and they pose a clear and present threat to public safety on our streets.
