California Highway Patrol Southern Division Chief C. Margaris joined local, state, and federal law enforcement partners for a press conference discussing preparations for FIFA World Cup 2026.

Our mission is simple: provide a safe environment for residents and visitors while maintaining the free flow of traffic and rapid emergency response capabilities.

The CHP is proud to be part of this historic event and looks forward to welcoming the world to California.

Our Holiday Enforcement Period is from Friday, May 22, at 6 p.m., through Monday, May 25, at 11:59 p.m. During this period, CHP officers will conduct targeted enforcement to identify reckless drivers and emphasize proper seat belt use for drivers and passengers.

So, remember to buckle up and tell your passengers to as well! And take an extra moment to check your car seats and make sure they are properly adjusted for your younger passengers. If you need to make any car seat appointments, call your local CHP offices.

Happy holidays, and drive to arrive!

A seat belt can be the difference between walking away from a crash and never making it home.

From May 18–31, the California Highway Patrol will participate in the national Click It or Ticket campaign with increased seat belt enforcement. Officers will be stopping drivers and passengers who are not properly buckled up.

Too many lives are lost each year because someone chose not to wear a seat belt. In a crash, being ejected from a vehicle is often deadly, and airbags alone are not enough to protect you.

Buckle up correctly every trip:
✔️ Shoulder belt across your chest
✔️ Lap belt low across your hips
❌ Never behind your back or under your arm

REMINDER—PLEASE READ AND SHARE❗

The California Highway Patrol is warning people about fake text messages claiming they owe money for unpaid tickets.

Several people have reported receiving suspicious texts from unknown numbers. These messages claim the recipient has unpaid tickets, use “final notice” language, and include a payment link to avoid repercussions.

The texts are fake and part of a phishing scam. Do not click links or share any personal or financial information with unknown callers or texters. CHP does not solicit payments via text message.

Anyone who receives a call or text from someone claiming to be from CHP and requesting money should report it to local law enforcement immediately.
