CHP Maximum Enforcement Period in Effect from November 23 to November 27

 

The CHP in King City and throughout the state of California will be kicking off a Maximum Enforcement Period (MEP) beginning at 6:01 p.m. on Wednesday, November 23, and continuing through 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, November 27.  During the MEP, all available CHP officers will be on patrol, looking for unsafe driving practices, including seat belt violations, speeding, distracted driving, and signs of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

 

Proper seat belt use is the most effective way to save lives in the event of a crash.  Everyone in the vehicle should be safely secured before even starting the car, including children being in the correct child safety seats. 

 

Thanksgiving weekend is traditionally one of the busiest travel times of the year.  For that reason, extra care is warranted. All available CHP officers will be out helping to assure safe travel and to provide assistance to motorists in need.

 

During the 2021 Thanksgiving MEP, 42 people died on the roadways within CHP jurisdiction.  The CHP also made 1,033 arrests for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

 

The mission of the CHP is to provide the highest level of Safety, Service, and Security.
