Police Descend on L.B. Violators to Drop Train Fatalities
316 tickets were issued in four hours Monday by Long Beach police and L.A. County Sheriff's deputies, who worked with the Metro Transit Authority to lower avoidable crashes.
Eighteen motorcycle officers from the Long Beach Police Department and from the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department spent Monday morning hours in a targeted sweep of the area around Blue Line tracks in Long Beach.
The officers bore down on problem areas of the past and prompted the issuing of citations for traffic violations to motorists and pedestrians ignoring safety laws.
Police issued 106 citations in just over three hours, according to Gayle Anderson, head of Metro Communications.
