California Highway Patrol (CHP)
Ride With The Best
Since 1929, the CHP has built a history of service and tradition that has made it one of the leading law enforcement agencies in the world. Today the CHP has expanded far beyond its original mission. The California Highway Patrol is responsible for traffic enforcement and highway safety throughout the state. Duties include issuing traffic citations, arresting alcohol and drug-impaired drivers, investigating traffic accidents and vehicle theft, and providing assistance to the motoring public. The CHP also provides general law enforcement assistance to local agencies upon request.
