CHP Welcomes 102 New Officers Thanks to Successful Recruiting Campaign

Gov. Gavin Newsom welcomed California Highway Patrol’s 102 newest graduates Saturday, marking significant progress towards meeting California’s CHP 1000 recruitment campaign.

The graduation marks the end of a 26-week training, with the new officers being sworn in by CHP Commissioner Sean Duryee at the West Sacramento CHP Academy.

“Having successfully completed the last 26 weeks of intensive training, the CHP is pleased to welcome these new officers to the CHP family,” said Duryee. “They are beginning a career of service and I trust they will do everything they can to take care of their communities.”

The new officers will report to one of the 102 CHP Area offices throughout the state to begin serving the people of California. CHP reports increased numbers of cadets this year following the launch of the CHP 1000 recruitment campaign, as well as a new recruitment web series “Cadets”

A total of 409 officers have been added to CHP’s ranks in 2024, surpassing the total number of officers sworn in during 2023. Since the campaign began, 816 cadets have graduated as officers.

The next CHP Academy graduation is scheduled for Sept. 13. Applications can be found here.
