The California Highway Patrol (CHP) Monterey Area Office recently appointed a new commander on November 1, 2024: Captain Nicholas King.


 


Captain King, an accomplished veteran of the California Highway Patrol Academy since June 2003, began his illustrious career in the East Los Angeles Area office before moving on to the Riverside Area. His time at Riverside involved a full-time assignment to the multi-agency Riverside County Regional Gang Task Force. In 2013, he ascended to the rank of sergeant with a transfer to the Santa Fe Springs Area office. Roles in Morongo Basin Area and Arrowhead Area followed suit, where he worked from April 2015 to September 2016. His subsequent promotion to lieutenant took him to the El Centro Area. Throughout his time in this position, he served across a variety of divisions and locations, including Inland Division, San Bernardino Area, the Office of Inspector General, Altadena Area, and Rancho Cucamonga Area. January 2024 saw Captain King being selected as the Lieutenant commander of the Arrowhead Area. Later that year, on October 31st, he received his promotion to captain, subsequently reporting to the Monterey Area. A noteworthy highlight of Captain King's career is his accomplishment of graduating from the Naval Postgraduate School’s Center for Homeland Defense and Security, gaining a master’s degree in security studies.


 


Captain King brings with him valuable knowledge and experience that will enable us to continuously provide our community with the highest quality of service. His professionalism and a profound commitment to serve the people of California positions him as an outstanding fit for our area. In his own words, Captain King expressed his eager anticipation to serve the Monterey Area, make a significant impact in our community, and to be the leader our community truly deserves. The mission of CHP has always been to provide the highest level of Safety, Service, and Security, and under the new leadership of Captain King, we will continue to uphold these values.
