About the CHP
Safety, Service, and Security.
The California Highway Patrol owns the freeways. The 101, the 405, the 110, the 10: if it moves on a state highway, it’s CHP territory.
Expect high-speed pursuits, major collisions, DUI enforcement and commercial vehicle stops, plus a long tradition of professionalism.
