As excitement builds for the summer of soccer happening this month at Levi’s Stadium, we're reminding fans to help keep the experience safe and enjoyable for everyone. Plan ahead and arrive early. Give yourself extra time for traffic, parking, and security screening. If you see something, say something. Stay aware of your surroundings and report suspicious activity to law enforcement. In an emergency, call 9-1-1. For non-emergency assistance in Mountain View, call (650) 903-6344. Arrive home safely.

Whether you're heading to a match, a watch party, or a fan event, let's work together to make this an unforgettable and safe World Cup experience. Enjoy the matches and play it safe!

Our top priority is keeping everyone safe — whether you’re on two wheels, four, or on foot. In the coming weeks, we’ll be sharing important information about e-bike safety, speed limits, equipment requirements, and road rules. Our goal is to help riders and their families understand how to stay safe and comply with the law. Our department, which includes Patrol Officers and the School Resource Officer, will continue to discuss safe riding habits and the requirements for commuting around town with students, staff, and parents. Education and awareness come first, because safety starts with understanding. Working together, we can ensure our roads are safe for everyone.
