CHP copes with first-ever layoffs Employees received notifications
on possible dismissals due to budget cuts.

June 25, 2003

SACRAMENTO - The state officially notified some 1,500 Highway
Patrol employees - including 370 uniformed officers - that they
could face layoffs after Oct. 31 because of California's
unprecedented budget shortage. 

"Our hope is that it can be worked out," CHP spokesman Tom
Marshall said. "We're absolutely committed to continuing our
mission of homeland security and safety." 

Jon Hamm, the executive director of the California Association of
Highway Patrolmen, said the action marked the first time that
CHP uniformed personnel have been formally told that they could
lose their jobs.
