At all of these turns, CHP will be <br /> on site and will have already closed the road. <br /> Motor Marshals <br /> (20 total) <br /> The race's Motorcycle Marshals work closely with the California Highway Patrol to <br /> assist with security along the route. The marshals are deployed in teams and assigned to <br /> the lead patrol cars. They are responsible for assisting with the closure of any drives or <br /> parking lots not manned by any other staff. These marshals have the ability to rapidly <br /> deploy and quickly move back into position once the front of the race has passed. <br /> In addition motor marshals are able to communicate to both the command car and other <br /> race staff any obstacles or dangerous situations along the route. <br /> California Highway Patrol—Entourage <br /> (10 total) <br /> The California Highway Patrol (CHP)will be providing a police escort utilizing the same <br /> units throughout the event. These units will be deployed both ahead of and behind the <br /> race itself as part of the race caravan. <br /> The mobile units will work with fixed-post officers and race marshals to provide security <br /> along the route. <br /> Six to seven units will be staggered between five and ten minutes in front of the event. <br /> The exact spacing will be determined based on road type and terrain in coordination with <br /> local area commanders. <br /> All additional units will be placed at the rear of the entourage to prevent traffic from <br /> passing the race. These units will also protect vehicles and competitors who are outside <br /> the main group. <br /> See the attached caravan diagram for more information on vehicle locations and <br /> functions. <br /> California Highway Patrol—Motos <br /> (Varies by Stage) <br /> The California Highway Patrol (CHP)will provide 10-15 moto officers 2-3 miles ahead <br /> of the race.
