CHP putting more officers on streets for Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving weekend, traditionally one of the busiest travel times in America, can also be one of the deadliest. The California Highway Patrol will have all available officers on patrol.

In 2014, 45 people died in collisions on California roadways – a 36 percent increase from Thanksgiving 2013. In addition, the CHP arrested almost 1,000 people for driving under the influence.

Extra officers will be on duty from Nov. 25 at 6pm to Nov. 29 at 11:59pm.
