The city of Santa Monica created a special task force to fight these illegal vendors who trashed their pier and beaches and endangered public health. The task force consisted of police, code enforcers, health inspectors, and fire dept personnel. They traveled in a small convoy of light offroad utility vehicles to catch every illegal street vendor as well as inspect all legal street vendors. The illegal vendors would leave piles of trash on the ground, were often rude and disrespectful to officers, and were sometimes violent (one physically attacked an officer, and another pulled a knife on a fellow vendor). But after several weeks, the task force had the situation under control.
