CHP - Needles

🚔 Drivers, we want to hear from you…

Have you ever passed an on-ramp, checked your mirror, and wondered, “Is CHP sitting there?” 👀

💬 What’s the first thing you do when you spot a CHP unit? Check your speed? Put your phone down? Let us know in the comments.

Drive safe. Stay focused.

The weather is heating up and the brush surrounding the highways is extremely dry in the desert. Please discard of lit ci******es appropriately and don’t let your chains drag when towing. A small spark can create a fire and affect traffic conditions.

Congratulations to Needles CHP Officer T. Hill for his outstanding efforts towards DUI enforcement, being recognized with a MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) award. Every impaired driver removed from the roads has saved countless lives!! Great job.

Yesterday, we had the honor of attending the Caltrans District 8 Memorial, standing alongside Caltrans District 8 and our partners to remember and honor those who gave their lives in service to keeping our roadways safe.

Assistant Chief Branconier along with CHP leadership from across the region came together in support, reflecting on the sacrifices made and the responsibility we all share to protect those working on our highways.

As the Inland Empire continues to see significant road improvements, we want to remind everyone that these work zones are active, and lives are on the line.

Slow down for the cone zone. Move over when you see emergency lights.

The California Highway Patrol will be actively patrolling with enhanced enforcement in construction zones to protect workers and the public.

Every cone represents someone’s life. Let’s do our part to make sure everyone goes home safely.

For the next 2 days, the Needles Area is expecting high winds. As a reminder, please reduce your speed, keep a firm grip on the steering wheel and be aware of high profile vehicles. Stay safe out there.

As Public Service Recognition Week comes to a close, we want to thank the dedicated public servants who work each day to keep our communities safe, supported, and connected.

From behind-the-scenes staff to those serving in the field, your commitment, professionalism, and service make a difference every single day.

Thank you for all that you do, this week and every week. 👏

The and Areas recently participated in a joint Active Shooter and Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) training day. These exercises are designed to prepare personnel to effectively respond to active shooter incidents by practicing coordinated response tactics, building entry procedures, room clearing techniques, threat neutralization, and emergency medical treatment for injured victims.

Training opportunities like these are critical to ensuring our officers are prepared to respond professionally and effectively during incidents we all hope never occur.

If you are interested in serving your community and helping keep California safe, consider a career with the California Highway Patrol.
