CHP Officers Are Donning A New Look
You may notice that CHP Officers everywhere are
donning a new blue uniform instead of their signature tan uniforms. The CHP will be conducting a
state wide homeland security drill for the next two weeks to test their
readiness for deployment for emergencies statewide. However, the Amador Unit of
CHP only expects the drill to last for 2 days locally. The drill
requires that every on duty CHP Officer carry with them standard gear, such as
a baton a helmet ect., but also special equipment for a possible hazmat
situation which includes, a hazmat uniform and breathing apparatus.
