The primary mission of the California Highway Patrol is to "provide the highest level of safety, service, and security to the people of California." As a statewide criminal justice agency, the CHP also provides law enforcement assistance to local governments and allied agencies when situations exceed the limits of local resources. The CHP is responsible for providing security and protective services to elected state officials, state government employees, and state facilities.

We're proud of our organization, our uniformed and civilian staff, and the job we do. Our goal is to keep you safe on the road, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and throughout the year. Help us by doing your part: driving the posted speed limit, taking extra care during inclement weather and at night, and by courteous, defensive driving.
