Police Warn of Increased Juvenile Complaints

Over the past couple years, Brentwood Police say they have seen an increase in calls for service and complaints regarding juveniles riding their bicycles recklessly and dangerously throughout our city. They say they take this seriously and continue to do their best to enforce and address these calls for service; and increase proactive enforcement.
However, they admit they cannot address this alone and we encourage parents to stay engaged with their kids.

Good job BPD. I for one will run over these little ass holes that like to gang ride in the streets illegally. They have no regard and no respect. Neither will I.

I’ve had experience with juveniles taking up a whole lane near a Safeway parking lot. And they were on foot. Rude to say the least
