Gov. Gavin Newsom extended California Highway Patrol (CHP) operations in the Bay Area, including Oakland, as new laws empower law enforcement to crack down on retail theft, vehicle theft, and sideshows.
Newsom extended state law enforcement support in the East Bay for another month.“California is proving that public safety is best achieved through smart strategies and strong partnerships,” Newsom said. “By extending our critical CHP operations and enacting tougher laws, we’re not just responding to crime—we’re preventing it and protecting our communities.”
