The California Association of Highway Patrolmen is, at its heart,
a labor union that advocates on behalf of uniformed California
Highway Patrol officers in matters related to pay, benefits and
working conditions. But ultimately, we are so much more.
Dedicated to serving all our members – including active officers
at all ranks, retired CHP officers and survivors – the CAHP
constantly strives to ensure we are a trusted leader in
membership advocacy. As such, we maintain a host of benefit
programs built exclusively for our members and their families,
including self-insured health, dental and long-term disability
plans, plus sponsored life and AD&D insurance plans. In
addition, we provide services to our membership including legal
services in employment disciplinary matters, an exemplary
legislative advocacy program and a retirement planning assistance
program. And, finally, we publish a membership newsletter (the
APB) and a website dedicated to focusing on issues important to
our membership.
The CAHP, which was founded in 1920, holds a philosophy that is
deeply rooted in collaborative-based initiatives. Currently, we
are working with the California Highway Patrol on a public trust
initiative that is aimed at ensuring the CHP’s historically high
level of trust from the public is never taken for granted and,
where possible, is improved upon. As such, the CAHP and the CHP
aspire to be an example for all law enforcement officers and
their employers who strive to provide the public the highest
level of service.
We encourage you to explore our website and learn more about the
California Association of Highway Patrolmen. Portions of the
website are accessible only to CAHP members.
