2720 Dept of the California Highway Patrol
Major Program Changes
  • Patrol Staffing Augmentation - The Budget includes $21.6 million for 120 new officer positions and 44 new support positions. The Budget also reflects a limited term savings adjustment reflecting CHP's plan to graduate sufficient officers to reach a planned officer staffing level of 6,973 in 2012-13.

  • Inland Empire Traffic Management Center - The Budget includes $1.9 million to relocate the Inland Division Communications Center to the new Inland Empire Traffic Management Center. Co-location of the CHP and Caltrans will improve public safety through improved response time and coordination.
