In 1928, a group of motorcycle officers founded our association. The purpose of the organization was to standardize traffic laws among the many townships and cities within the state of California and promote traffic safety. Our members represent 206 law enforcement agencies, including the California Highway Patrol and Deputy Sheriffs in counties through the state.

In addition, we have Associate members that work in law enforcement who are non-riding and engaged in making or enforceing traffic laws in the state of California. These members consist of judges, mayors, chiefs, councilpersons, sheriffs, deputy sheriffs, district attorneys, city prosecutors, plus city, county and state officials.

We are a nonprofit California safety-oriented corporation and through our educational efforts, we distribute to public schools, bicycle rule cards, reflectorized bicycle triangles, “Don't Use Drugs” bumper stickers and traffic-safety brochures on our campaign to “Buckle Up.” we also use Public Service and Traffic Safety announcements on radio stations throughout the state on key holidays to inform the motoring public to drive Safe, Sane and Sober.

MMOC monitors and reviews the proposed and the news laws of the Vehicle Code by attending California's legal update seminars held annually. Also important to us is a fair and impartial application of the code and traffic ordinances. These are based on a uniform code throughout the state and have high priority.

These endeavors are the basis and foundation of our organization. We receive no monies from any city, county, state or federal grants. We are self-supporting through our advertising programs in our annual publication, The Siren, family shows, rodeos and other local campaigns throughout the state.

We invite you to participate in our endeavor and goal to save lives, and to drive as through your depends on it, because it does.
