At the meeting, a law‑enforcement representative summarized recent crime and crash statistics and described enforcement priorities for upcoming holiday periods. For October the presenter listed 6 Part 1 crimes that month (3 assaults, 1 burglary, 2 thefts) and said the year‑to‑date total stood at 33 Part 1 crimes, down from 61 at the same point last year — a 45% decrease. The speaker urged residents to secure property during the holidays.

A separate traffic report said there were 12 crashes in October 2024: 7 property‑damage only and 5 injury crashes, including two hit‑and‑runs (solo‑vehicle abandonments), two DUI‑related crashes and two caused by unsafe speed. Officials said there were no fatal crashes that month and that enforcement will intensify during the Thanksgiving enforcement period (multi‑agency mobilization of officers), focusing on DUI, speed and occupant restraints.

Residents pressed for more routine CHP presence to tackle dangerous passing and speeding on narrow canyon stretches and asked whether engineering fixes (physical barriers) might help. An enforcement official noted statewide staffing shortages as a constraint, saying officers are limited by shift coverage and that the office is down many positions statewide, which reduces local assignment options; officials encouraged residents to report suspicious or unsafe behavior and to provide plate numbers when possible so officers can follow up.
