According to the governor, CHP will partner with local law enforcement agencies, sharing intelligence and increasing patrol visibility in neighborhoods most affected by crime. The strategy is designed to enhance local capacity without federal intervention, Newsom said.
Newsom’s announcement comes as California awaits a federal court ruling in a lawsuit challenging the deployment of federal troops to Los Angeles.
Should federal intervention be used to reduce crime in California cities, or will state initiatives be effective?
