August is Back to School Safety Month. As students head back to school, let's work together to keep every trip a safe one.

• Slow down in school zones and obey posted speed limits.
• Stop for school buses when required.
• Watch for children crossing streets.
• Put the phone away and stay focused behind the wheel.
• Give extra space to students walking or riding their bikes.

A few extra seconds of caution can make all the difference. Let's help every student arrive safely this school year. 🚌

🚨🚓🏍️🏜️

On July 29, 2026, officers from the California Highway Patrol’s Santa Ana Area Office conducted a Special Enforcement Unit (SEU) operation along the Santiago Canyon corridor, enhancing roadway safety, addressing community concerns and keeping our roadways safe.

One of the key issues tackled: high speed in areas clearly marked with black and white regulatory signs.

These signs aren’t just suggestions-they’re the law. Following them is critical to keeping all drivers safe along this busy stretch of highway.

🚨Secure your load!🚨

Recently, a CHP - Santa Ana Officer responded to a two-vehicle crash. After investigation, it was determined the white pickup truck loaded with metal pipes crashed into the gray sedan. After the initial impact, the unsecured metal pipes from the pickup truck were propelled forward, into the sedan, and through the sedan’s rear window. Fortunately, only minor injuries were reported.

Had this crash resulted in a fatality, the driver of the truck could have faced charges for manslaughter.

Unsecured cargo causes crashes every year, leading to hundreds of deaths and thousands of injuries nationwide. When a load isn’t properly secured, everyone on the road is at risk.

Before you drive, make sure your load is secure:

✅Tie down items with rope, netting, bungee cords, or straps
✅Use a sturdy tarp or netting to keep debris from escaping
✅Don’t overload your vehicle or trailer
✅Double-check to ensure everything is secure
