(CHP serving up safety)…The California Highway Patrol has initiated their MEP.

The Maximum Enforcement Period began Wednesday evening at 6:00 pm. It will continue until 11:59 Sunday night. The MEP is the CHP’s holiday program, in which they use as many officers as possible to patrol the roadways. During the Thanksgiving Holiday weekend, the Highway Patrol also covers the inflated population of off road visitors in the dune areas. They are expected to release the total activity statistics either Monday or Tuesday. So far, no major injury incidents have been reported.
