Newsom says the CHP operation will add units on the ground and in the air to help San Bernardino police target sideshows, stolen cars, ghost guns, gangs.
The California Highway Patrol is stepping in to help combat property theft, shootings and more in the city of San Bernardino, where rates of violent crime are around double the state average. The CHP surge operation will add law enforcement units on the ground and in the air to help the San Bernardino Police Department target sideshows, stolen vehicles, ghost guns and street gangs, Gov. Gavin Newsom said Monday in announcing the launch of the program.
Still, city officials say they welcome the law enforcement boost, and CHP Commissioner Sean Duryee said the partnership would strengthen ongoing efforts to improve public safety. “This collaboration allows us to share resources, intelligence, and expertise, enhancing our ability to reduce crime and create a safer environment for all members of the community,' said Duryee in a statement. No information was available on the number of CHP officers that would be deployed to San Bernardino.
