CHP Hiring for First Time in 3 Years

The Redwood City-based headquarters will accept applications over a three-day period.

The California Highway Patrol (CHP) announced this week that the law enforcement agency will be taking applications for three days in January.

"This is an opportunity to serve alongside some of California’s finest, who provide the highest level of safety, service and security throughout the state," said CHP Commissioner Joe Farrow.  

"A career with a law enforcement agency like the CHP offers unlimited opportunities for someone who is looking for a challenge," he added.

CHP has not accepted job applications in three years. 

In 2013, the agency will do so for three days, starting on Jan. 3.  The application window closes on Jan. 5.

CHP's local headquarters is in Redwood City.

Commissioner Farrow said the ideal candidate is a U.S. citizen without felony convictions with at least a high school diploma.  They will consider applicants aged 20-35.  All candidates will have to pass written and physical tests in addition to a background investigation.

Jennifer: I really enjoyed working with you on the story about the Barnes family and Ballet AmericaRead More back in December. Also liked "following you around town" on the other stories you covered. There will be lots of great people and exciting news back east -- not to worry. Best of luck.

So why do you keep voting for bigger Government? Seems the consumers have solved the problemRead More without "It's" help.

This is a much more effective means for dealing with the issue. Legislation is not.

I agree, the public has the right to know what they are eating. It is absurd to be purchasing foodRead More that contains GMOs and not be able to know it is in the food.... why the secret if it is so safe??? I will not shop at any food stores that refuse to provide the public with information on what I am eating or serving to the people I care about. Trader Joes and Whole Foods have my loyalty for having the courage to stand up against the big guys and set an example by doing what is right for the consumer and not folding to pressure from Monsanto, Dupont and the other corporate giants that could care less about our safety and only care about how much money they can rake in.
