I wish all the best to my good friend and longtime colleague, Assistant Commissioner Charlie Sampson, who retired after nearly thirty years of dedicated service to the CHP and the people of California. He has been an incredible asset to the Department and will be missed.

I am excited to announce Robin Johnson's appointment as the CHP's Assistant Commissioner, Staff. She brings over 26 years of law enforcement experience to our leadership team, further strengthening the CHP's commitment to public safety.

Yesterday, I accompanied the Governor, the director of California Governor's Office of Emergency Services, and CAL FIRE Chief to assess the damage caused by the wildfires. Our thoughts are with those affected by this disaster. CHP Southern will continue to support local law enforcement through the response and recovery.
