& Off-Road Team
Join Forces with OHV
Enthusiasts
During the
months of March and April 2022, the San Bernardino County Sheriff Department, Off-Road Team, collaborated with
the United States Department of Agriculture – Forest Service, Bureau of Land
Management, Army Corp of Engineers, Hesperia Parks District, Hesperia Police
Department, BNSF Railway, and the San Bernardino County Auto Theft Task Force
(SANCATT) to patrol off-highway vehicle areas.
The goal was to
contact off-highway vehicle enthusiasts and educate them in the safe and proper
use of off highway vehicles, to include use of helmets and seat belts and
operating on designated OHV trails and open areas. Many enthusiasts were
unaware of legal and open riding areas. Maps, information, and guidance was
provided to over 2,000 enthusiasts.

San Bernardino Sheriff Department supports responsible and safe off-highway

actions were taken in a small number of circumstances. In total, 15 citations
were issued, 459 warnings were given, 1 arrest was made, and 2 vehicles were
towed. Deputies also provided medical aid to an injured motorcycle rider, who
was transported to a hospital for treatment.
