Did You Know? In 1924, several years before the establishment of the California Highway Patrol (CHP), the Automobile Club of Southern California established the roadside assistance Highway Patrol Service. At that time, Auto Club trucks with Highway Patrol emblazoned on their doors began to patrol the roads of California in search of disabled Club members. When the state decided to establish the CHP, the Auto Club agreed to give up the term Highway Patrol for use by the states new law enforcement agency. This, naturally, led to ribbing by other law enforcement agencies. CHP officers were good-naturedly referred to as AAA with a Badge or Auto Club with a Gun.
