Product Description
The California Highway Patrol has its roots in the early 1920s motorcycle traffic cops employed by counties and cities. The CHP became a separate state entity in 1929 and has grown from the early traffic enforcement role to that of one of the premier law enforcement agencies in the United States. Their responsibilities range from patrolling the freeways and county roads of California to providing security for the state capital and other state buildings to protecting the governor and visiting dignitaries from around the world. The CHP has marshaled its forces to restore and maintain peace in times of war, civil unrest, or natural disasters.

 A fun read! October 28, 2008
I found this book to be both informative and entertaining. Rick's sense of humor shines through in his photo captions and also his pride in the CHP organization. I am very proud of this accomplishment, his first book.

 Great coffee table book July 17, 2008

The pictures are great. The stories are OK. This is a book that is easy to flip open to any page and find something interesting. There seems to be a bias toward the early history of the agency. I would have liked to see more modern content (within 20 years).
