CHP Issued 49 Citations and Warnings in Lompoc During One-Day Enforcement Campaign

On September 30, 2025, at 12:00 p.m., the California Highway Patrol’s (CHP) Buellton Area and Coastal Division Special Services Unit partnered with the Lompoc Police Department to conduct a special enforcement campaign in Lompoc, focusing on in–view traffic violations, criminal apprehension, and the recovery of identified stolen vehicles. 

More than 20 CHP personnel, consisting of patrol officers, K9 officers, commercial enforcement officers, auto theft investigators and detectives, participated in the resoundingly successful campaign. In just several hours, the campaign resulted in 49 citations and warnings, 18 commercial vehicle inspections, and five vehicle impounds.

One stolen vehicle and one stolen trailer were located and recovered. K9 officers made one misdemeanor and one felony arrest, seizing methamphetamine and fentanyl pills. 

Buellton CHP commander, Lieutenant Jason Bronson, said “All the activity likely had many people asking what was happening yesterday. I’d like to thank the Lompoc Police Department and our CHP Special Services for their work and dedication to keeping our communities safe.”
