June is National Safety Month.

Whether you’re on the road, at work, or at home, safety starts with the choices we make every day. From buckling up and staying focused behind the wheel to looking out for those around us, small actions can make a big difference.

Join us in making safety a priority this month and all year long.

Today, Commanders from the Bakersfield and Mojave Area attended a Memorial Day Event at the Bakersfield National Cemetery.

This Memorial Day, the California Highway Patrol honors and remembers the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.

As you spend time with family and friends this holiday weekend, please travel safely, drive responsibly, and never drive impaired. Let’s all do our part to make sure everyone gets home safely.

We remember. We honor. 🇺🇸

🇺🇸 Memorial Day Weekend is here, and the California Highway Patrol is reminding everyone to buckle up and drive safely as the summer travel season begins.

The CHP’s Holiday Enforcement Period runs from Friday, May 22 at 6:00 p.m. through Monday, May 25 at 11:59 p.m. Officers will be on patrol statewide looking for reckless and impaired drivers while promoting seat belt safety.

Last Memorial Day weekend, CHP officers made over 1,100 DUl arrests statewide and investigated 22 fatal crashes. Tragically, many of those killed were not wearing seat belts.
