Sacto 9-1-1: Folsom PD announces safety crackdown on motorcyclists Aug. 13-15 By Cathy Locke - clocke@sacbee.com

The Folsom Police Department will be conducting a specialized motorcycle safety enforcement operation Aug. 13-15, according to a department news release.
Additional officers will patrol areas frequented by motorcyclists and where prior crashes have occurred, the release states.
Officers will be cracking down on traffic violations made by motorcyclists as well as other violations which lead to motorcycle collisions, injuries, and fatalities.
Inexperience is cited as a major factor leading to motorcycle crashes. Police encourage riders of all ages to seek training and safety information. Training is available through the California Motorcyclist Safety Program. For information and training locations, see the website at www.CA-msp.org, or call (877) 743-3411.
Funding for the operation was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety.
