A police department in Southern California introduced a new off-road enforcement team in its effort to improve safety for bikers and hikers.
“The Fontana Police Department is proud to introduce our new Off-Road Enforcement Team, equipped to patrol areas where traditional police SUVs can’t reach,” a post on the Police Department’s X page stated.
The new team will be dedicated to patrolling trails, tunnels and bridges.
“Having a presence on off-road trails is essential to maintaining a safe environment for bikers, hikers, and all who enjoy our city’s natural beauty,” police said.
The department said that officers received specialized training and vehicles to “protect our trails and ensure everyone has a secure experience outdoors.”
