Leadership means understanding the mission.

Assistant Commissioner Pinoli recently spent time alongside a dispatcher at the Inland Communication Center, experiencing firsthand the critical role our dispatchers play every day.

When someone calls for help, dispatchers are often the first voice they hear. They remain calm, gather critical information, coordinate resources, and help get the right people where they need to be.

For our leaders, understanding the people behind the mission matters. Taking the time to sit alongside employees and experience their work firsthand builds connection, perspective, and stronger leadership.

And for the public, remember, safe driving starts with you. Slow down, stay focused, put the phone down, and give emergency responders and roadside workers room to work.

Interested in serving your community? There is more than one way to answer the call. You can become a California Highway Patrol officer, or you can become the voice on the other end of the call as a CHP dispatcher.

Different roles. One mission: Safety, Service, and Security.

Today, our Riverside CHP officers responded to a call of a driver of a Tesla towing a U-Haul trailer that suffered a diabetic emergency, lost control, and crashed into a concrete barrier. The Tesla’s front end was heavily damaged and airbags deployed.

A sudden medical event behind the wheel can happen in seconds. If you have diabetes or another condition that can cause dizziness, confusion, or loss of consciousness:

- Check your blood sugar before you drive
- Do not drive if you feel shaky, sweaty, confused, or unusually tired
- Keep fast-acting glucose within reach
- Pull over safely at the first warning sign and call 911
- Tell a passenger how to help if symptoms start

Your life and everyone sharing the road depends on it. Have a safe weekend!

It is with profound sadness that the California Highway Patrol announces the line-of-duty death of Officer Brian Liles of the Visalia Area.

On September 28, 2026, at approximately 5:11 p.m., CHP Motorcycle Officer Liles was involved in an on-duty traffic crash on State Route 99, just north of State Route 190 in Tipton. He sustained critical injuries and, despite lifesaving efforts, succumbed to his injuries at the scene.

Officer Liles, 44, served the people of California for more than 16 years. After graduating from the CHP Academy in 2010, he was assigned to the San Jose Area and later served in the Hayward and Fresno Areas before transferring to the Visalia Area in 2019.

Officer Liles is survived by his wife, two children, his parents, and two sisters.

The CHP extends its deepest condolences to Officer Liles' family, friends, loved ones and all who served alongside him. His dedication to public service and commitment to protecting the people of California will not be forgotten.
