The Beverly Hills Police Department (BHPD) has received a nearly $100,000 grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) to further the department’s mission of reducing deaths and injuries on Beverly Hills roads.
According to data compiled by OTS, traffic fatalities in California decreased 5% from 2018 to 2019, from 3,798 to 3,606. Over the same time period, the state saw alcohol-impaired driving fatalities go down by 4.5%.
