Check out CHP East LA Explorer Vazquez’s segment with @cbsla Joshua Vazquez is paying it forward 12 years later. At the age of 7, Joshua Vazquez received his first toy from the California Highway Patrol’s CHiPs For Kids toy drive – a program KCBS has been a part of for three decades. Now at 19 – he’s returning the favor. #explorerpost535 #communityservice #teamwork #explorers #joinus #chpfamily #EASTLA #CHP #givingback #chipsforkids #ToyDrive #CommunitySupport #community 🎥 credit: @cbsla

The East Los Angeles Area would like to acknowledge Officer Beatriz Fernandez, ID #13989, who is retiring after 27 years of dedicated service. Officer Fernandez graduated with CTC 4-94, and was assigned to East LA on April 24, 1995. Most of her 27 years of service were at the East LA office and five of those years as one of the few female motor officers in the entire state. Officer Fernandez has served as a mentor to many new officers and is regarded as one of the best informal leaders at the East LA area office. Officer Fernandez, you’ve earned the respect of all members of the CHP family and you will be missed for your outstanding work ethic and positive attitude. The California Highway Patrol and the 535 wish you continued success and happiness in your retirement. All units, Officer Beatriz Fernandez, is officially 10-10. #CHP #Retirement #10-10 #27Years #CHPEastLA #FemaleMotor #CHPCareers #ThankYou

CHiPs for Kids is off to a great start!!! Thank you @delrecords for all these toy donations!! @lagalaxy @ch14_ assisting with handing out toys!

CHP SEEKING ASSISTANCE IN FATAL TRAFFIC COLLISION Los Angeles, CA – On Wednesday, March 17, 2021, at approximately 9:25 P.M., a fatal traffic collision occurred involving a 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse and an adult pedestrian, in an unincorporated area of East Los Angeles, near Calvary Cemetery. The vehicle pictured below was traveling southbound on Eastern Avenue, north of 5th Street, in the left lane, and came to a complete stop for a pedestrian walking across lanes. The vehicle is described as a newer model black pick-up truck. We are seeking assistance from the driver and/or passengers of the black pick-up truck. Anyone with information regarding this vehicle is asked to contact California Highway Patrol’s 24/7 public line at (323) 259-3200 and reference CHP Case No: 9535-2021-01088. #eastlosangeles #boyleheights #losangeles #easternave #pleasereachout @hildasolis @wendycarrillo #witnessinfo

Officer C. Latschar #17943 explains why it's so important to "SLOW DOWN" while driving. The 2min:35sec mark of this video is one of thousands of unexpected events that happen on the roads you travel on. If you are speeding when unexpected events occur, your safety, the safety of your passengers, & your ability to SAFELY avoid a collision are greatly reduced (to zero depending on how fast you're speeding). In an effort to save lives & improve traffic safety, @chp_eastlosangeles recently conducted a Primary Collision Factor Saturated Enforcement Operation within East Los Angeles, the I-710 freeway, & the SR-60 freeway. 😎🚨 We focused on areas of our jurisdiction with high crash statistics. ☆ Over 100 total enforcement contacts were made. ☆ 93 tickets were issued. ☆ 71 tickets were for speed. ☆ 5 commercial tickets issued. ☆ 1 arrested for no bail warrant. The CHP reminds drivers that speeding is illegal, dangerous, & can have fatal consequences. Join us at WWW.CHPCAREERS.COM

Each year, Mothers Against Drunk Drivers (MADD) recognizes and honors law enforcement officials for their continuous efforts in DUI enforcement. Each arrest is a life saved. Many of our officers have arrested numerous DUI offenders, however, the following officers were recently recognized by Captain M. Gill #13850 for their significant achievements in apprehending impaired drivers during 2019: * Officer R. Arroyo #21599 * Officer L. Contreras #21538 * Officer M. Camargo #21773 * Officer R. Diaz #21795 * Officer B. Hernandez #21381 * Officer D. Castaneda #21551 It's an honor and privilege to be recognized by MADD, but we'd honestly prefer a year when NO AWARDS are handed out because NO ONE CHOSE TO DRIVE IMPAIRED.

After 30 years of dedicated service, we congratulate Sergeant Louis Borunda, #12772, on his well deserved retirement. Sergeant Borunda entered the California Highway Patrol Academy with CTC 1-89, and upon graduation, reported to the East Los Angeles Area. Within his first six months, Sergeant Borunda earned his 10851 pin, and continued earning a reputation for being a hard charger. As an officer, he was a true "road dawg," and became a highly respected FTO. After a brief assignment with a local P.D., he returned to the CHP in 1998 and was assigned to the Central Los Angeles Area. He then traveled to the Baldwin Park Area in 1999. On January 1, 2019, he promoted to the rank of Sergeant and transferred "back to where it all began in East L.A.". Sergeant Borunda has earned the respect of all members of the CHP family. We wish him continued success and happiness in his retirement. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 #californiahighwaypatrol #eastlosangeles #retirementday #chp #officer #sergeant #aarp #bestwishes #neverforget

It is with great respect & heavy hearts, we add the name of Officer A. Ornelas, #21685 to our @chp_eastlosangeles Memorial Wall. #californiahighwaypatrol #eow #thinbluelinefamily #officerornelas @chpantelopevalley #RIP #neverforgotten

This is Child Passenger Safety Week -- we need your help in spreading the message of keeping children SAFER & away from DANGER by checking to make sure they are PROPERLY secured. Vehicle crashes are a leading cause of death for children age 13 and under. The CHP, which works every day to help prevent those deaths, is partnering with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to promote Child Passenger Safety Week. In 2017, NHTSA data showed that 37 percent of the children killed in car crashes were unrestrained, & almost 60 percent of children’s safety seats ARE USED INCORRECTLY. Useful information about the proper seat choice and installation tips are available at https://www.chp.ca.gov/Programs-Services/Programs/Child-Safety-Seats. California law requires that all children under 8 years of age be properly restrained in an appropriate child safety seat in the BACK SEAT of a vehicle. Children under 2 years of age must ride in a rear-facing car seat in the back seat. Children who are at least 8 years old or 4 feet 9 inches tall should continue to ride in the back seat in either a safety seat, such as a booster seat, or lap/shoulder belt. Children should be kept in an appropriate child seat until they reach the upper height and weight recommended by the car seat manufacturer. DRIVERS are responsible for ensuring that children and adults in their car are safely secured in the correct safety seat or seat belt on every ride, every time. ###

Today is #NationalPoliceWomanDay! We salute all the female law enforcement officers, deputies, and troopers. Thank you for your dedication and professionalism. A special thank you to our female California Highway Patrol officers & support staff. 💙

Excerpt from Tessa Robinson, Managing Editor for We Are The Mighty: We all remember exactly where we were when we heard the news of a terrorist attack on that beautiful, clear Tuesday morning in September. But what I can't remember is the night before. I don't remember September 10, 2001. Who I called. What I said. How I spoke to or treated the people I love the most. I can't remember how I felt that night, or how I made others feel. While the rest of the world will remember 9/11 - as we all should - I seem to always spend more time reflecting about 9/10. I'll spend today and tonight in deep reflection -- hoping that the mommies made time for one more story, the daddies had patience for one more hug. I pray that couples went to sleep holding hands instead of onto arguments or petty fights. I'll hope that friends found words of forgiveness and that the children too busy to call their parents made time. Today, I think of the hundreds of people who packed suitcases, briefcases, even diaper bags thinking that "tomorrow" would be just another day. Today, I'll spend a little extra time practicing gratitude, being intentional with my children and offering more words of support, tenderness and empathy. I hope you'll join me. In a time of such great divisiveness of our country, let us take today to remember that we are better United. We are stronger as humans, as brothers and sisters, and as Americans, when we can find tolerance, kindness, mercy and love. Let the heroes of 9/11 -- and their unfinished stories on 9/10 -- remind us that tomorrow is never "just another day."
