Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is Working To Improve Motorcycle Safety. Deputies increased enforcement aimed at dangerous riders and careless motorists.

Personnel from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department conducted a specialized Motorcycle Safety Enforcement Operation on 05/16/14 in the City of Paramount.
