CHP - Indio

CHP Indio had the privilege of attending two events yesterday where our officers provided life saving information about car seat and seatbelt safety. A special thank you to the Desert Recreating District and The La Quinta Boys and Girls Club for hosting us!

If you’d like to learn more about car seat and seatbelt safety call our office at (760) 772-5300. Schedule your appointment today to have your car seat checked or installed by a certified Child Passenger Safety technician.

Funding for this program is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

This morning, Officer Lopez and Officer Hawkins conducted a traffic stop on a Jeep Grand Cherokee for expired registration. During the stop, they recovered one stolen firearm and two additional unregistered fi****ms.

Excellent work getting these guns off the street.

During National Public Safety Telecommunicators week, we recognize the calm voices behind the chaos.

CHP Public Safety Operators and Dispatchers are the first to respond, answering the call in moments of crisis, gathering critical information, and ensuring help gets where it’s needed.

Their work is often unseen, but never unfelt. Every call answered is a life touched, a situation stabilized, and a community made safer.

Thank you to the dedicated professionals who serve with compassion, precision, and unwavering commitment, day and night!
