CHP's new low-profile patrol vehicles will be harder for scofflaws to spot

Officials announced that the California Highway patrol puts the officers in a new generation of low -factor compounds, which are especially known to “integrate traffic enough to monitor the most reckless and dangerous behaviors without immediate discovery.”

in press releaseCHP said that California is witnessing approximately 400,000 accidents annually, or nearly 1,000 reports on reckless driving per day and that in 2024, the officers issued 18,000 quotes for car drivers who drive 100 miles per hour or above.

“These new tools will help our employees accountable for the most terrible violators,” the statement stated.

About 400 Dodge Durangus is added to the fleet, but only 100 of the vehicles will get special signs aimed at integrating traffic. The other 300 will have a traditional appearance of CHP.

Patrol compounds will not have a sign specifically with the signs of the agency in the typical black and white, but they will enjoy a variety of standard Dodge manufacturers, although the CHP logo will be placed on both sides of cars.

Instead of lights and alarms at the top of new low cars, the gear is located in the upper upper part of the front and rear windows, as well as at the bottom of the car.

The new Durangos is also faster, as each contains the V8 Hemi engine compared to the V6 in the current CHP fleet of Ford Explorers, Chevy Tahoes and Dodge Charries.

While private patrol vehicles will all be in service by June, some stations, such as Baldwin Park, have already come out in the vehicles, where the agency tells Orange County Register The officers immediately noticed car drivers who drive higher speeds than they usually see while they are in traditional patrol cars.

“These cars are not intended to prey to the prey to the ordinary and the busy people.” “These are aimed at these drivers, speed and aggression.”
