STTOP: Sheriff's Teen Traffic Offender Program - 877.310.STOP

STTOP is an innovative intervention program developed by the Lost Hills/Malibu Station of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department to educate young drivers and their parents.

The goal of STTOP is to correct reckless behavior and other bad driving practices. The program is designed to intervene when a young driver displays poor judgment or dangerous driving behavior. Aside from following up on collision reports and citations issued, STTOP encourages citizens to call in and report dangerous teen driver (or report them online at www.sttop.net/report_a_driver.htm.

Too many times, patrol officers are not present to see dangerous driving. The inability to catch an offender in the act ties the hands of law enforcement, which cannot act on a Vehicle Code infraction they do not witness. Often the youthful driver screeches his/her tires, races another car or does other dangerous maneuvers, and then vanishes before the patrol units can arrive.

If you see dangerous driving or reckless behavior by young drivers, report it to STTOP at 1.877.310.STOP (7867) or 818.880.5420.  The call may save lives.  STTOP is currently in use throughout the Conejo Valley, Agoura, Simi Valley, Moorpark, Malibu, Calabasas, Ojai, Fillmore, Santa Paula and other locations.
