Book Reviews of California Highway Patrol (Images of America)
Book Review: Great coffee table book
Summary: 4 Stars
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).
Summary of California Highway Patrol (Images of America)
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.General Books
