County staff presented the fourth quarterly update on a countywide action plan to curtail street racing and takeover events, reporting a mix of results across supervisory districts and urging continued multi-agency action.

The plan includes five goal areas: youth outreach and prevention, infrastructure and deterrents, enforcement coordination, community engagement and communication, and identification of safe legal alternatives. Staff reported nearly 2,300 trained youth and community residents through prevention efforts, 84 workshops on the dangers of takeovers, and outreach events across South Los Angeles and the South Bay. Public Works reported about $225,000 in third-quarter expenditures to install or repair intersection deterrents; the Sheriff’s Department and CHP provided enforcement tallies.

Law enforcement representatives credited the combined approach for reductions in some districts but acknowledged the phenomenon’s mobility. LASD reported citations, arrests and impounds; CHP provided call-data that capture 911 reports in unincorporated areas. Public Works said it will accelerate installations by contracting additional capacity, with a January pilot at a targeted intersection and plans to expand corridor treatments where needed.

Social-platform partners, including a Snapchat representative, described proactive content removal and moderation of posts promoting takeovers; the county invited platforms into the task force for intel-sharing and free ad credits for public-safety messaging.

Supervisors pressed staff on a "whack-a-mole" effect—events shifting between districts—and asked for corridor-level planning and quicker deployment of deterrents where data indicate repeated problems. The board received the report and filed the item, requesting more disaggregated data by district and further detail on platform partnerships.
