If you live in San Francisco, you’ve seen it or heard it: large groups on dirt bikes and ATVs taking over our streets and sidewalks.
They ride without licenses, ignore the law, and terrorize our communities. For years, it felt like the city couldn’t—or wouldn’t—stop it.
Now we are.
Yesterday, with coordination between SFPD’s Citywide Plainclothes Team, the Real Time Investigation Center, and uniformed officers—and with the help of drones and license plate readers—San Francisco carried out a major dirt bike enforcement operation, using every tool available to do it safely and effectively.
The result: @SFPD officers made four arrests and seized six dirt bikes and an ATV.
We have the technology, we have the officers, and we have a clear message:
This dangerous behavior has no place in San Francisco.
