As part of the CHP’s Valley Division, our office patrols approximately 1,262 miles of highway throughout northern Sacramento County.

In 2023, the North Sacramento Area received 104,404 calls for service. In 2024, the Area received 93,928 calls for service. Officers respond to a wide range of calls for service, from removing roadway hazards, such as ladders in traffic, to investigating multi-vehicle collisions with fatalities or taking reports for stolen vehicles. Each day presents a diverse set of responsibilities, requiring officers to handle various incidents professionally and efficiently. The 2023 data shows an average of 1619 calls for service per officer per year for the North Sacramento Area. This makes us one of the busiest CHP offices in the State!
As part of our mission, the North Sacramento Area offers several programs to keep you safe on the road. Contact our office for information on how to secure children in their safety seats properly, teach new drivers the challenges of the road, or learn some tips for driving at night, in bad weather, and in high-volume traffic. In the meantime, you can help us by driving defensively and safely, obeying the posted speed, giving enough room between you and the car ahead of you, using your turn indicators, and being courteous on the road.
