| Who Are The California State Police |
Who Were These Guys, Anyway?
Let's clear something up right off the bat: the California State Police doesn't exist anymore. They were like that cool uncle who showed up to family reunions with wild stories, only to disappear mysteriously a few years later. But before they vanished into thin air, they were tasked with protecting the state capitol, the governor, and other important folks. Think of them as the Secret Service, but with a California twist (and probably less cool sunglasses).
QuickTip: Skip distractions — focus on the words.
From State Police to Highway Patrol: A Tale of Mergers
In a shocking plot twist that would make a soap opera jealous, the California State Police merged with the California Highway Patrol in 1995. It was like when two rival high schools combine to form one super-school, but with less drama and more patrol cars. This merger created the behemoth we know and (mostly) love today.
QuickTip: Reading twice makes retention stronger.

But don't worry, the California Highway Patrol is still around to make sure you don't speed on your getaway. And let's be honest, speeding is probably a bigger crime anyway.
