The results:

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to visit your California Highway Patrol San Francisco Area personnel during the National Night Out festivities yesterday evening, August 4, 2026. Your CHP San Francisco Area team were out in force representing in Colma, Daly City, and three locations in San Francisco joining the local police, sheriff, fire, medics, and additional first responders, as well as all of our wonderful community members who came through to express their support.

It was a great evening connecting with our community, answering questions, showing off our equipment, and sharing more about the work we do to protect California and our own local communities.

We appreciate everyone who took the time to come out and spend the evening with us. Events like National Night Out help strengthen the partnerships between law enforcement and the communities we serve.

CHP SAN FRANCISCO OFFICER HONORED AT SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS GAME

On Monday, July 27, we gathered with law enforcement agencies from across Northern California at the annual San Francisco Giants Law Enforcement Appreciation Night. This year, officers from multiple agencies were recognized for their incredible work and dedication as they strive to keep the Bay Area safe.

We were proud to honor Officer Tony Ortolani, a 20-year CHP veteran, for his exceptional service and outstanding accomplishments that earned him the California Highway Patrol's Top Performer Award for 125 DUI arrests in 2025. The award is a testament to his unwavering commitment to removing impaired drivers from our roadways and keeping the public safe. Despite having the ability to choose any shift, Officer Ortolani continues to volunteer for the graveyard shift, when the risk of impaired drivers is often at its highest.

On hand to join the Giants in honoring Officer Ortolani were the San Francisco Area office Commander, Captain Tim McCollister, Golden Gate Division Chief Steve Ramos, and Golden Gate Division Assistant Chief Kevin White. We proudly recognize Officer Ortolani for his professionalism, dedication, and continued commitment to public safety, and thank the San Francisco Giants for highlighting his incredible work.
