California Highway Patrol Shoulder Patch
California Highway Patrol Shoulder Patch The official California Highway Patrol uniform patch was first adopted in 1948. Its birth resulted from legislation which separated the California Highway Patrol from the Department of Motor Vehicles and elevated the patrol to full Department stature. The patch is thought to have been designed by a then active State Traffic Officer.

The background design of the patch is depicted in gold trim on blue field. These are the official State colors.
Centered in the blue field is the Department's seven point badge of authority. The seven points of the badge symbolize the Department's philosophy toward professional law enforcement. The points at the top represent character and integrity.
The points at either side refer to knowledge and judgment. Upholding these are the tenets of honor and loyalty. Sustaining them all is the final tenet of courtesy.
Over the badge is superimposed an abbreviated replica of the Official Great Seal of the State. Keeping watch over the tableau of the Great Seal is the armored figure of Minerva who, in Grecian mythology, was goddess of the arts and sciences, wise in peace and war. Like the political birth of our State, she was born full grown from the brain of Jupiter, father of the gods and guardian of law and order. California was among the nation's few to be admitted to statehood without first having gone through the usual probationary period as a territory. The California Grizzly Bear (Ursus Horribilis Californicus) stands at the feet of the goddess. Now extinct in California, it was a particularly large and fierce animal.
It has long symbolized the state as independent and formidable. The grape leaves at the nose of the bear are emblematic of the State's agricultural production. The miner laboring with pick axe represent industry, while the San Francisco Bay shipping scene typifies commercial greatness. The sun rising in the east over the awesome grandeur of the snow-clad Sierra Nevada Mountain peaks in the background, contrasts with the desert cactus in the foreground.
This is thought to represent the extraordinarily diverse topography of the State and also symbolizes the Department's statewide jurisdiction. Finally, the Official State Motto, 'Eureka' (I have found it) applies either to the principle involved in the admission of the State or to the success of the miner at work.

Was any reason ever given for the high suicide rate among CHP officers?No! There have been no published reports for the incidents. There is, however, a strong and positive program in effect in an attempt to overcome the problem. Word on the street is those officers who took their own lives were overcome with personal problems outside of the Department. Irrespective of the cause, the end result is that every incident of self destruction - regardless of the Department or cause - is tragic and fully felt be a lot of people. My heart aches for those who feel their only resort to resolution is to take thier own lives. May they all rest iin peace!!!:'(.

It is the largest State Police agency in the country with about 6800 sworn officers, according to data provided by the Federal Bureau of Investigation We precede Ohio by a few years. Actually, I believe the winged wheel is the trademark for the Indianapolis Motor Speedway which dates back to around 1906!
