Juveniles that are properly wearing their helmets, obeying the law, and/or practicing proper safety skills will be "cited" by police department employees.  Letters will be sent to their parents and cited children will receive a prize.  Each child cited will be entered into a drawing for a new bike (donated by Riverside Optimist Club).

As part of Bicycle Safety Month, the Riverside Police Department presented surprised and excited sixth grader Anthoney Zavala with a new bicycle and helmet at Ben Franklin Elementary School. Anthoney, 12 years old, received his bicycle in a drawing from all Safety Cite recipients. Anthoney received a Safety Cite in October 2008 and again in May 2009, for properly wearing a helmet and obeying the rules of the road while riding his bicycle.
