On 4/10/2000, Officer Holzhauer began his career with the CHP dedicating himself to serving and protecting the people of California. On that day, Officer Garcia was born.

From one generation to the next, the commitment to public safety continues.

Thank you, Officer Holzhauer.

One Text. One Look. One Second.
That’s all it takes, we see it every day, drivers looking down at their phones instead of the road. You might think it’s quick… harmless… no big deal.

But in that one second, a lane drifts.
A car stops.
A life changes.
