Police from law enforcement agencies from around the county are once again collaborating in a traffic-safety initiative, today (Wednesday, Sept. 21) in Atherton and Menlo Park, patrolling "known trouble spots" until 4 p.m., according to a statement from the town of Atherton.
Today's deployment of 24 officers is the ninth occasion in 2016 for the Saturation Traffic Enforcement Program, or STEP, a traffic-safety education and enforcement campaign.
Several officers will also be assigned to assist the transit police, a division of the Sheriff's Office, in monitoring traffic at railroad crossings.
