California Highway Patrol
State road enforcement
The California Highway Patrol is the state police agency responsible for traffic law enforcement and highway safety in California.
Often abbreviated CHP, it's widely recognized from media depictions and its distinctive black-and-white cruisers.
Officers are sometimes called chips after the 1970s television series about motorcycle patrol officers.
