California Highway Patrol

It is my second time here.
Super helpful, chill and fun police officer!!!
Thanks again!

Thought it would be funny to review this chp station!
Really chill people. Treated me well. Came in to do a vehicle validation the dmv made an error with and these guys took great care of me. They were also hilarious. Good run.

Went there this am for infant seat check and Officer Droff (sp?) was very nice, knowledgeable and professional. I got lost on the way over, no thanks to the updated Google Maps. I was almost 10 minutes late for my 0800 appointment so had to wait a bit but still less than 15 minutes. It was a great experience overall and would recommend all local parents to make an appointment to have their car seats checked with Hayward CHP. I learned a lot about safety, proper placement of my seat and baby, as well as how to check the seatbelt and etc. They do this every Thursday by appointment only so call early!

Thanks for your help yesterday after i broke down on the 880. It was a bit nerve racking and you guys handled it with excellence!! thank you again for your service

Called and made an appointment for car seat installations. I showed up promptly was greeted by an officer and filled out a short form.
Officer Hunter installed 2 car seats in 15 minutes. He explained each step as he was installing. And he gave me information for when the car seat would need to be changed. Even though his installed in a flash he made sure they were secure and safe. I would recommend everyone to take a few minutes to have their car seats checked out.

Went here today to get my car seat installed. Officer Parker was super helpful and answered all of my first time mom questions. I feel reassured that my baby will be safe in his car seat.
It was also easy to get an appointment, not too busy and the rest of the staff was friendly.

This review is really for Officer Parks.
I was beyond impressed with him on Monday night.
I went here with my family (my son’s new car seat was installed).
Our appointment was at 6.
I went inside and was soon greeted by Officer Parks (the lobby is somewhat spacious, and I briefly thought about the «I’ll be back» scene in «The Terminator»).
I was a bit worried at first. I must have been seeing things, as Officer Parks initially seemed to be cross-​eyed (hmm– maybe my eyes should be checked out).
I was given some paperwork, and it was easy to fill out (especially since I had my wife do it).
It’s a good thing that we arrived so early.
A woman from Alameda came a few minutes before 6, and she had to wait.
That’s my only «complaint.»
The procedure should be adjusted a little.
Only 2 car seat appointments are made for a given hour.
That’s good, as half an hour is usually an adequate amount of time.
People shouldn’t be scheduled to come in at exactly the same time, though. If there’s only 1 officer around, that makes it a given that someone is going to have to wait.
So, for example, we could have been scheduled at 6, and the woman from Alameda could have been scheduled at 6:30. That would have at least been better for her (a guy had to wait too– he showed up early for a 7 p.m. appointment).
Our car seat was tricky to install (I thought that it would be after reading the manual, which is why I wanted the appointment in the first place), and so the woman was only helped here and there until we left at 6:50. At one point I stared at her, partly because she was attractive, but also because I felt bad that she had to kill so much time (it’s interesting that she made an appointment with this CHP– there’s one closer to Alameda). Officer Parks even asked her if she wanted to reschedule.
Officer Parks was very friendly. He even chatted with my wife and I a bit.
He was also quite thorough. He talked us through everything.
He made some small mistakes (he hadn’t installed a car seat like ours in quite some time), but used them as learning tools. I also don’t consider them mistakes really (for example, the car seat was initially made more secure than it needed to be– safety is the name of the game, and so my wife and I certainly weren’t bothered by this).
It was optional, but Officer Parks attached the car seat to the front passenger seat (I thought it was a nice touch that he wrapped the manual with the rubber band that was freed up).
Again, he was very focused on safety.
Officer Parks also bailed me out.
When the car seat was ready, I was wondering why it was hard buckling my son in. Well, that’s because I didn’t have the chest clip lined up right.
My son Joshua got stuck. The chest clip couldn’t be unhooked.
Officer Parks left and returned with a screwdriver. After a few minutes, he even came close to looking for some pliers (it was kind of comical).
Meanwhile, Joshua was crying (I’m pretty sure that he wanted to pee on me the whole time). Giving him some snacks just calmed him down a little.
I tried to help, but Officer Parks did the real work, and Joshua was freed after about 5 minutes.
Early on, Officer Parks gave my wife and I a CHP sticker for Joshua (by the way, he did a great job interacting with him too), and we didn’t leave until he made sure that we were all set.
The car seat was installed with care and professionalism.
I really thank Officer Parks for doing such a wonderful job.

would leave 0 stars if possible, was going 5 miles per hour through a red light red turn and was pulled over on a street and 880. NO traffic, and I stopped at the light before the red. They have no other way of generating revenue.

I see them working hard on the road removing all these terrible drivers from the road one stop at a time. good work CHP.

Chp checked on us on the side of the road 3 times and finally got us a jump… AMEN to CHP. Tow service took hours to help and still didn’t help

I wanted to report a hit and run and the officer (I wish I would of gotten his name) was great! He helped me out a lot and seemed like he was really going to do something about the situation. It wasn’t like I thought it was going to be like with a «I don’t care» kind of attitude. But no they showed interest. He answerd all of my questions and even though the reason I was there was horrible and bad they really helped me here.
