<\/a><\/p>\nThe resources from the California Highway Patrol and those coordinated through the Governor\u2019s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) will help local governments protect the safety of peaceful demonstrators and the public \u2013 as well as enforce strict laws against the destruction of property, vandalism, and looting.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the United States, the office of citizen is the most important office we can hold. We respect and protect those who exercise their First Amendment rights when they do so peacefully and respectfully.<\/p>\n
California has zero tolerance for those who plan to take advantage of peaceful demonstrations with violence. We\u2019re pre-deploying resources to maintain safety \u2013 and we will prosecute those who break the law.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nAll eight of CHP\u2019s Special Response Teams (SRT) are currently activated and pre-staged throughout California, a surge of nearly 700 officers. The CHP\u2019s Southern Division remains on tactical alert, which ensures every available uniformed employee is prepared should they be needed. The CHP is coordinating with local law enforcement partners and Cal OES.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe California Highway Patrol actively protects and upholds every individual\u2019s First Amendment right to peacefully assemble and express their views,\u201d said CHP Commissioner Sean Duryee. \u201cOur officers stand ready to ensure these rights are exercised safely and lawfully. If anyone attempts to violate the rights of others, destroy property, or obstruct public movement, we will respond swiftly and decisively to enforce the law.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cal OES has coordinated with state and local partners to ensure communities have resources to help keep people safe. At this time, CalOES has not received significant requests from local governments for mutual aid in advance of this coming weekend. CalOES remains in close communication with local government partners and stands ready to coordinate any future requests for mutual aid or support.<\/p>\n
\u201cCal OES remains prepared to assist and respond,\u201d said Cal OES Director Nancy Ward. \u201cWe\u2019re in close contact with local government partners and stand ready to assist with any requests for support or mutual aid.\u201d<\/p>\n
