CHP

As a dedicated member of the law enforcement community, CHP Commissioner Warren Stanley has served the people of California for more than 37 years. His unwaver...ing commitment to public service and dedication to CHP employees caught the attention of the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA). Today, AAMVA recognized these efforts by honoring him with the Lifetime Achievement Award in Highway Safety Law Enforcement. Congratulations Commissioner Stanley!

Today, we reflect on the life of Officer Andre Moye Jr. Officer Moye was killed in the line of duty one year ago today, serving the citizens of California. Throughout his career, Officer Moye undoubtedly saved many lives, assisted countless motorists, and exemplified what it means to be a California Highway Patrol Officer. On this day, he made the ultimate sacrifice and laid down his life to protect the lives of others.

Inland Communications Center is proud to honor two of its employees who have served with the California Highway Patrol for over 25 years. Employees who meet this milestone are presented with a certificate from the State of California recognizing them for their service. We Congratulate PSDS I Monica Hernandez, #A10244 and PSDS II Russell Kingston, #A10372 for their achievement! (Pictured from left to right are Assistant Chief Troy Lukkes, PSDS I Monica Hernandez, PSDS II Russell Kingston and ICC's Commander, Lieutenant Veda Fleeton).

Today we honored and thanked ICC's Office Technician, Kris Philippon. Kris is responsible for all of the center's timekeeping, tracking, filing, benefits, and a myriad of other duties. In all, Kris takes care of the needs of nearly 80 people! Kris is an indispensable part of the ICC team, and we're proud to be able to recognize Kris for all the hard work and dedication given to the Department.

ICC suffered a tremendous loss yesterday with the sudden passing of our dear friend and coworker, PSD Brandi Palmowski, #A12120. Brandi was recovering from heart surgery at the time of her death, which came as a shock to everyone in our Center. She was a member of the CHP family for over 20 years, serving 15 years at ICC. Brandi will be remembered as one of our pillars who was a mother-figure at ICC and who’s selfless dedication was unparalleled. She was our Union Stewa...rd, Care Club chairman and snack-bar coordinator. We enjoyed many wonderful Holiday parties which Brandi organized. Any time tragedy struck our CHP family members, she was passing out cards to be signed and arranging for flowers and gifts. Brandi always made it a point to give more of herself than she ever expected in return. Her untimely passing leaves a big hole in our hearts which can never be filled, and she will be missed tremendously. See more

On April 15, 2020, ICC Staff and Dispatchers participated in a multi-agency teleconference with Congresswoman Norma Torres to discuss issues that communication centers are facing during the COVID-19 pandemic. Congresswoman Torres, a former dispatcher herself, is very supportive of our dispatch community and we appreciate the opportunity to share our concerns with her.

Some infromation regarding CHP and the COVID-19 pandemic: 1. Q: How is the CHP enforcing the Governor’s statewide order to stay at home?... A: The governor is not asking law enforcement to enforce the statewide stay at home order. In an effort to preserve public health and safety of all Californians, the hope is that people will self-regulate their behavior and home isolate, protect themselves, and go about only the essential activities using social distancing and common sense. Read the Stay at Home Order from the Governor: https://www.gov.ca.gov//3.19.20-attested-EO-N-33-20-COVID- 2. Q: What is there to say to people are who concerned that they may be pulled over by CHP when they are driving around town? What will officers be looking out for? A: The mission of the CHP is unchanged. The CHP continues to patrol throughout California, respond to all traffic collisions, provide services to motorists, and take the appropriate enforcement action when a violation is observed. As always, motorists should obey traffic laws and not drive distracted or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
