Leadership means understanding the mission.
Assistant Commissioner Pinoli recently spent time alongside a dispatcher at the Inland Communication Center, experiencing firsthand the critical role our dispatchers play every day.
When someone calls for help, dispatchers are often the first voice they hear. They remain calm, gather critical information, coordinate resources, and help get the right people where they need to be.
For our leaders, understanding the people behind the mission matters. Taking the time to sit alongside employees and experience their work firsthand builds connection, perspective, and stronger leadership.
And for the public, remember, safe driving starts with you. Slow down, stay focused, put the phone down, and give emergency responders and roadside workers room to work.
Interested in serving your community? There is more than one way to answer the call. You can become a California Highway Patrol officer, or you can become the voice on the other end of the call as a CHP dispatcher.
Different roles. One mission: Safety, Service, and Security.
