Santa Ana cops to crack down on Cinco de Mayo cruising

Santa Ana Police Department
Advisory: Police Department – Cinco de Mayo (Monday, May 5th) cruiser enforcement

In an effort to provide a safe environment and minimize the impact on our local neighborhoods, the Santa Ana Police Department will be deploying extra police personnel to deal with the influx of cruiser activity experienced on Cinco de Mayo (Monday, May 5th).

In years past, the City of Santa Ana has contended with large crowds, congested roadways, criminal activity, and quality of life issues that affect our residents, businesses and visitors. Therefore, to mitigate these issues, an increased police presence, lane restrictions and road closures will be in effect in the areas of Bristol Street from 17th Street to Callen’s Common, Main Street from 17th Street to Dyer Road, Edinger Avenue from Main Street to Raitt Street and Harbor Boulevard between Westminster Avenue and Edinger Avenue.

Residents, motorist, and visitors should expect traffic delays and make an effort to avoid these areas whenever possible. Residents are encouraged to report any significant or ongoing criminal activity they observe to the Santa Ana Police Department at (714) 245-8049.
