The 2026 Law Enforcement Torch Run (LETR 2026) for Special Olympics Northern California made its’ way through San Francisco, CA earlier today, and members of your CHP San Francisco Area team were proud to support the LETR 2026 and the Special Olympics cause, while running alongside members of the San Francisco Sheriff’s Office, San Francisco Police Department, and the San Francisco District Attorney’s Office.

Your CHP San Francisco team was led by Captain Tim McCollister, who ran with the “Flame of Hope” and later received it at the closing ceremony from a Special Olympics athlete. The “Flame of Hope” will continue the journey through Northern California to the Special Olympics Summer Games, which will be held in June 2026, at Santa Clara University.

The Law Enforcement Torch Run symbolizes the partnership between law enforcement and Special Olympics athletes reminding us that when communities come together, extraordinary things happen. Great job by all our law enforcement partners and supporters today!

A seat belt can be the difference between walking away from a crash and never making it home.

From May 18–31, the California Highway Patrol will participate in the national Click It or Ticket campaign with increased seat belt enforcement. Officers will be stopping drivers and passengers who are not properly buckled up.

Too many lives are lost each year because someone chose not to wear a seat belt. In a crash, being ejected from a vehicle is often deadly, and airbags alone are not enough to protect you.

Buckle up correctly every trip:
✔️ Shoulder belt across your chest
✔️ Lap belt low across your hips
❌ Never behind your back or under your arm

On Saturday, May 9, 2026, members of your CHP San Francisco Area teamed up with the Scouts of America, San Francisco Fire Department, San Francisco Sheriff’s Office members, other first responders, and several community organizations to co-host our annual youth bicycle safety rodeo near Stonestown Galleria, in San Francisco, CA.

CHP and San Francisco Sheriff’s Office bike patrol officers worked with youth attendees to make their way through a challenging obstacle course and then a group ride on the streets to apply their safety skills in live traffic. Free bicycle helmets were fitted and passed out to those who came unprepared and basic bicycle checks and tune-ups were conducted by bicycle mechanics at the event. This event was a great opportunity for the kids and their families to interact with first responders and learn important information about bicycle safety, while also testing their abilities and giving them a place to learn the rules of the road.

Bicycles and motorists have to share the roads and be aware of each other. Let’s ensure the safety of each other by following the rules of the road and being focused while also staying vigilant. Ride smart, ride safely and always wear your helmet to minimize serious injuries.

👏 Thank you to all the first responders and community partners who came out and supported the event in one way or another. Your participation aided in the success of this event and we appreciate all of you and your assistance during the event.
