Safety Message:  

The 4th of July is one of America’s favorite holidays.  And why not?  Families and friends gather to celebrate our country’s freedom with food, parades, parties, picnics and fireworks.  However, there can be a very dark side to this great holiday.  For many, the celebration includes alcohol, and the holiday can quickly go from festive to fatal when people choose to drive after drinking.  

To crack down on drunk driving this 4th of July, the Torrance Police Department will be out in full force, aggressively targeting those who put lives in danger. If you’re caught driving drunk or drug-impaired, you will be arrested. Aside from putting your life and the lives of others at risk, driving impaired can also lead to serious consequences.  A DUI arrest can mean time in jail, loss of your license, and steep financial expenses; the average DUI costs about $10,000. 

Fireworks:  

Selling or possessing fireworks is illegal in the City of Torrance. Any person caught with any type of firework or explosive device is subject to a minimum fine of $100.00.  As in previous years, the Torrance Police and Fire Departments will be conducting special enforcement operations with the sole purpose of identifying, locating, and citing all those who are in violation of any firework ordinance.
