At the October 1, 2014 Porter Ranch Neighborhood Council meeting, Captain Maureen Ryan, commander of LAPD Valley Traffic was on hand to address stakeholder concerns about late night street racing in Porter Ranch, specifically on Sesnon. She explained that this is not a new problem and LAPD is aware that street racers are using social media to organize and race in four locations across the valley.

She has specifically hand selected four motor officers and a supervisor to aggressively tackle this problem. She was unable to share all the specifics to avoid alerting suspects as to her planned approach. She did note that cities like Oxnard have been successful with very pointed tactics which include impounding cars and inviting the owners to watch while their car is crushed.

Captain Ryan requested that residents call Valley Traffic at 818-644-8000 or the LAPD Devonshire Desk at 818-832-0633 immediately upon hearing racers or seeing them gather.
