The City of California City enjoys the distinction of being the third largest city in California, with regards to land area that totals 203 square miles. The City is home to a vast area of ulra-terrain composites which require off-road machines to search and/or traverse.
The California City Police Department has created the Desert Incident Response Team, to patrol these ultra-terrain areas and to deploy resources for threshold incidents.
Funded and operated strictly through County and State Parks, by way of OHV funds (green sticker fees), D.I.R.T. plays a public safety role for all visitors to this high desert community. D.I.R.T. also maintains the Borax Bill Park located along the historic Twenty Mule Team Parkway. Two borax wagons circa 1880's are present at the park.
For more information on OHV riding areas, the D.I.R.T. program, or Borax Bill Parkinson and the Twenty Mule Team trail through California City, please contact Police Chief Steve Colerick.
