If this is your first visit, be sure to read our first post.This site serves to be a form of communication between CHP Explorers and Officers on events and meetings. This website should also answer questions about exploring to parents and the community. We also aim to use this site as a platform for anyone to advertise community events that require volunteer assistance.
As explorers, we are devoted to serving our community in volunteer based events: Please contact us if you would like our assistance in any form of fundraising, event planning, event staffing, or event advertisement. We will help in literally any way we can. Simply contact us, and we will go from there!

Weekly Update: March 18, 2012

15 Explorers completed our first Explorer Academy on March 11!  We learned the history of the California Highway Patrol, basic Vehicle Code sections, and traffic control.  We even received an overview on how Field Sobriety Tests and DUI Checkpoints operate, and how to safely complete ride-alongs with officers!

We had a taste of how a CHP Academy works, with 12 hour days of instruction and PT from drill sergeants.  We even learned how to fill out CHP paperwork…our favorite part!
This academy allowed us to earn the patches that we wear on our uniforms.  We now officially and proudly represent the California Highway Patrol as Explorers.  Photographs of this academy will be posted soon.
Some notable names: Andrew Sahagun has been named Acting Captain, Gabrielle Fluegel has been named Acting Lieutenant, and Dustin Stetina has been named Acting Sergeant of our post.
Our next meeting is to be determined. 

A list of events that we will be attending can be found here; please sign up for as many as you would like to do by contacting Officer Stark via email or telephone.
