The Highway Patrol Specialized Enforcement Program (SEP) is a subdivision within the San Andreas Highway Patrol focused on the advanced enforcement of traffic laws to reduce traffic collisions, their resulting injuries and to facilitate the safe and expedient flow of vehicular and pedestrian traffic both on land and in the water. Performing these duties results in safer roads, fewer fatalities and injuries, and reduces property damage. SEP concentrates its enforcement in the areas with the highest collision and speed violation rates within the state of San Andreas. In addition, SEP strives to enforce maritime laws to ensure that all of the waterways in the State of San Andreas are safer. These efforts, combined with the specialized training received, have proven to be effective in reducing the numbers of collisions and traffic incidents, traffic infractions, and preserving safe waterways within the State of San Andreas.
