SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California Gov. Gavin Newsom said that new teams of California Highway Patrol officers will be deployed to several of the state’s largest cities to target crimes such as auto theft and drug trafficking, Politico reported.
The deployments will include expanded patrols in Los Angeles, San Diego, the San Francisco Bay Area and other inland regions, including Bakersfield, San Bernardino and Oakland, according to the report. Newsom emphasized the effort is being conducted in collaboration with local governments..

According to the governor, CHP will partner with local law enforcement agencies, sharing intelligence and increasing patrol visibility in neighborhoods most affected by crime. The strategy is designed to enhance local capacity without federal intervention, Newsom said.
Newsom’s announcement comes as California awaits a federal court ruling in a lawsuit challenging the deployment of federal troops to Los Angeles.
