Riverbank joins neighbors in exploring a regional task force on organized riding events
Summary
Sheriff's office told council it is discussing a formal task force with neighboring jurisdictions such as Modesto and Ceres to coordinate enforcement and prevention for recurring group riding events that cross city boundaries.
Sheriff's office staff told the council that groups involved in reckless riding operate across multiple jurisdictions and that a formal task force could improve coordinated prevention and enforcement.
"So formally work together because we have the same groups in both of our communities," the sheriff's office representative said, summarizing the rationale for a regional approach and noting prior joint efforts such as Project Resolve and monthly meetings among law enforcement executives.
The office said it has already assisted Modesto and Ceres with personnel (detectives and traffic deputies) at organized events and that a standing task force would make that collaboration more systematic. City staff and the sheriff's office said they will continue outreach to neighboring agencies as they draft local enforcement measures.
