It's National Brake Safety Week!

Good brakes can make all the difference when you need to stop quickly.

This week, take a minute to check your brakes. If you notice squeaking, grinding, vibrations, a soft brake pedal, or your vehicle pulling when braking, it may be time for an inspection.

Don’t wait until there’s a problem. Make sure your vehicle is ready to stop safely before you hit the road.

The Morongo Basin CHP was honored to participate in this year's "Shop with a Cop" event last Saturday at the Yucca Valley Walmart. Representatives from the California Highway Patrol, the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department, the Bureau of Land Management, and the Twentynine Palms Band of Mission Indians were all on hand to make the day unforgettable.

Tribal youth and children from the local Morongo Basin community were chaperoned by a volunteer on a $200 shopping spree to help them prepare for the school year ahead. The Twentynine Palms Band of Mission Indians and the Sheriff's Employees' Benefit Association (SEBA) provided the generous funding to make this event possible. We wish all the students a safe and successful school year.

A common misconception? We're just “AAA with a badge.” The reality is, as California's State Police, the CHP mission extends far beyond traffic enforcement.

In just the last year and a half, CHP has:
• Recovered 25,320 stolen vehicles
• Recovered $76.1 million in stolen goods from organized retail theft
• Seized 2,697.09 pounds of fentanyl
• Seized 5,772 crime-related fi****ms
• Investigated 99 crimes against children

These are just a few examples of the work happening every day across California. While motorists often see us on the highway, our mission reaches into communities across the state through criminal investigations, public safety, and emergency response.

The CHP is more than traffic enforcement. We are California's State Police.

August is Back to School Safety Month. As students head back to school, let's work together to keep every trip a safe one.

• Slow down in school zones and obey posted speed limits.
• Stop for school buses when required.
• Watch for children crossing streets.
• Put the phone away and stay focused behind the wheel.
• Give extra space to students walking or riding their bikes.

A few extra seconds of caution can make all the difference. Let's help every student arrive safely this school year. 🚌
