NOTE:  Through investigation, officers learned “rideouts” are organized through social media and these bicycle “mobs” pick a location to rally and cause disturbances. If you observe any such behavior, please contact Public Safety Dispatchers immediately. Dial 9-1-1 in an emergency or (408)615-5580 for non-emergency situations.
