🌧️ Rainy Roads Ahead! 🚔

With El Niño continuing to strengthen and potentially bringing slippery roads to California in the coming months, CHP San Jose wants to remind drivers to take a few extra precautions when traveling in the rain.

Here are a few tips to stay safe on the road:

Slow Down: Wet roads mean less traction and longer stopping distances.

Turn On Your Headlights: Make sure other drivers can see you, especially during heavy rain.

Keep Your Distance: Leave extra room between you and the vehicle ahead.

Avoid Standing Water: Even shallow water can cause your vehicle to hydroplane.

Check Your Vehicle: Make sure your tires, windshield wipers, and lights are in good working condition.

Whether you’re heading to work, running errands, or traveling through the Bay Area, give yourself extra time and adjust your driving to the conditions.

A little extra caution goes a long way. Let’s work together to keep our roads safe this rainy season! 💙

October 7,2026 at 4:00 PM CHP officers responded to a rollover crash involving this truck. 🚛

Excessive speed was the main cause of this crash. Needless to say, when you speed, you lose the reaction time needed to keep a heavy vehicle under control. Thankfully, everyone made it out safely. Vehicles can be replaced, but you can’t be. Please drive safe. Your life and other depend on it.

⚠️ A quick reminder for the road: Please drive safe and stay focused on the road. Double-check that your cargo is properly tied down, and remember it only takes a second to buckle up. 🛑

CHP San Jose had a great time today attending Senator Dave Cortese’s 4th Annual Picnic by the Lake Multicultural Festival and Resource Fair! ☀️

It was a great opportunity to connect with our community, meet local families, and spend time with the 80+ organizations.

We also had the pleasure of meeting Linden, the dog in the first photo, who is urgently needing a home as he is sadly scheduled for euthanasia on Wednesday October 14th if he doesn’t find one. This lovable 3-year-old pup quickly won over our officers with his playful personality and love for belly rubs.🐾

Linden is currently up for adoption at San Jose Animal Care Center. Anyone interested in learning more about him please contact the shelter at (408) 794-7297 and reference his Animal ID A1412009.

Behind every uniform is someone who cares about the community they serve. Getting to meet you, hear your stories, and share moments outside of our everyday duties is something we truly value. We’re not just here when you need us. We’re part of this community, too! 💙

📅⌚ On October 3, 2026, at approximately 2:20 AM, we were reminded that we all want to make it home safely to our loved ones. 💙

Early that Saturday morning, CHP officers intercepted a major hazard on SB 101 near Tully Road. A driver was caught speeding, weaving completely onto the shoulder, and driving under the influence without a license. Thanks to swift action, a preventable tragedy was avoided.

Traffic safety isn’t just about police enforcement—it’s a shared responsibility that starts before anyone ever turns a key.

💡 How we can protect each other:
• Impairment begins with the first drink. Even if you don’t feel intoxicated, alcohol impacts your judgment and reaction times immediately.
• Be the friend who steps in. Intervening before someone gets behind the wheel might feel difficult, but it saves lives.
• Lock in a plan early. Designate a sober driver or download a rideshare app before your evening begins.
• Call 911. If you see someone driving erratically, safely pull over and report it immediately.

Let’s look out for one another. Never drive impaired, and always make sure your friends get home safe. 🚫🍺🚙

Over the last 48 hours, there have been three separate fatal crashes in the San Jose area. One life lost on our roads is already too many, but losing three community members in such a short timeframe is a tragic and devastating reminder of the dangers motorists and pedestrians face daily.

Law enforcement cannot secure our roads alone. We need every driver to actively choose traffic safety. As a reminder, please keep these critical safety tips in mind before you turn the key:

• Slow down: Manage your speed and adjust for traffic and weather conditions.

• Buckle up: Always wear your seatbelt and ensure every passenger does too.

• Drive sober: Never drive under the influence of alcohol, prescription medication, or cannabis.
• Stay focused: Eliminate distractions by putting your phone away and keeping your eyes on the road.

• Watch for others: Look out for vulnerable road users, including motorcyclists, bicyclists, and pedestrians.

• Maintain safe distance: Leave plenty of space between your vehicle and the one ahead to allow room for sudden stops.

Your choices behind the wheel can save a life. Stay safe.

👮‍♂️ Prioritizing Safety: Protecting Lives on SR-9 🏍️

On October 1, 2026 at approximately 8AM-1:30PM
The California Highway Patrol (CHP) motor squad was out on State Route 9 near Saratoga with a vital mission: ensuring every driver makes it home safely.

Led by a CHP Sergeant, our motor team focused on enforcement to eliminate dangerous behaviors like speeding, distracted driving, and unsafe passing. Scenic corridors like SR-9 require extra caution, and a visible police presence helps encourage the defensive driving habits that prevent life-altering collisions.

Traffic safety is the core of what we do. No matter how heavily traveled a road is, our officers are dedicated to slowing down traffic, reducing roadway risks, and protecting the lives of our residents, families, and visitors.

It is with profound sadness that the California Highway Patrol announces the line-of-duty death of Officer Brian Liles of the Visalia Area.

On September 28, 2026, at approximately 5:11 p.m.,
CHP Motorcycle Officer Liles was involved in an on-duty traffic crash on State Route 99, just north of State Route 190 in Tipton. He sustained critical injuries and, despite lifesaving efforts, succumbed to his injuries at the scene.

Officer Liles, 44, served the people of California for more than 16 years. After graduating from the CHP Academy in 2010, he was assigned to the San Jose Area and later served in the Hayward and Fresno Areas before transferring to the Visalia Area in 2019.
Officer Liles is survived by his wife, two children, his parents, and two sisters.

The CHP extends its deepest condolences to Officer Liles’ family, friends, loved ones, and all who served alongside him. His dedication to public service and commitment to protecting the people of California will not be forgotten.

🚨 TRAFFIC SAFETY UPDATE: Hit-and-Run DUI Arrest 🚨

On Saturday, September 12, 2026, at 11:10 PM, CHP officers responded to a two-vehicle hit-and-run crash. The suspect fled the scene, leaving a driver and two young children injured.

Accountability in Action:

The Evidence: The crash impact left the suspect’s license plate imprinted on the victim’s bumper.

The Arrest: Officers tracked the plate to the suspect’s address, located the driver, and initiated an investigation based on the suspicion of DUI. The driver was subsequently arrested for Felony Hit-and-Run (CVC 20001) and DUI Causing Injury (CVC 23153).

Our Message:
Reckless driving and DUI are 100% preventable. They put innocent lives at risk. Please slow down, drive defensively, and always arrange a sober ride home. We are grateful the children are recovering and remain committed to keeping our community safe.

⚖️ Suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

After 25 years we still remember.

On September 11, 2001, in the midst of unimaginable fear and devastation, first responders answered the call to serve. Police officers, firefighters, paramedics, and countless others stepped forward knowing the danger before them, yet choosing to put the lives of strangers before their own. For many, it would be their final act of service.

Today, the men and women of CHP bow our heads in remembrance of every life taken, every hero who sacrificed, and every responder who carried the weight of that day long after the smoke cleared.

Their courage reminds us what wearing a badge is ultimately about: service before self, courage in the face of danger, and a willingness to answer the call when others need you most.

We carry their example with us as we continue our commitment to serving and protecting our communities.

To those who served. To those who sacrificed. To those who never came home. We remember you. We honor you. We will never forget. 🇺🇸
