The East Los Angeles Area is on the eastern boundary of the City of Los Angeles. The East Los Angeles Area proudly delivers traffic and general law enforcement services to a population of approximately three million people and patrols 88 miles of freeway, and several unincorporated roadways. The East Los Angeles Area is a major thoroughfare for commercial traffic from the Port of Long Beach to the greater Los Angeles Area. Thousands of commercial vehicles enter and leave the port via Interstate 710 (I710) corridor on a daily basis. Local residents, daily commuters, and travelers all share these same roadways with the “big rigs.” The East Los Angeles Area contains several major thoroughfares to Los Angeles and the Inland Empire; namely Interstate10 (I10) and State Route 60 (SR60). Interstate 5 (I5), which connects Los Angeles to northern California and Orange County, also passes through the East Los Angeles Area.

We provide service to the unincorporated areas of East Los Angeles, South San Gabriel, and pockets of unincorporated areas within Pico Rivera and Rosemead. Within the unincorporated areas, responsibilities primarily include enforcement of the Vehicle Code and traffic collision investigation. The Area is frequently called upon to provide assistance to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and numerous allied agencies which border the Area. Working closely with such agencies, and community steakholders, benefits the local communities as we develop effective communication techniques, coordinate expedited response to calls for service and employ joint emergency incident handling procedures.

The educational component of the California Highway Patrol’s (CHP) mission was established to prevent, deter, and reduce the tragic results of traffic-related incidents. The CHP’s outreach programs reach a broad range of individuals from different age groups and diverse backgrounds. Some of the programs used to reach the public we serve include: Start Smart, Age Well Drive Smart, Impact Teen Drivers, Child Passenger Safety Program, Explorer Program, Senior Volunteer Program, and the East Los Angeles Area CHiPs for Kids Toy Drive Program.
