CHP Looking For Seniors To Volunteer With Agency

BAY AREA, CA — Seniors who would like to help the California Highway Patrol provide enhanced services to the community can volunteer to join the agency's Senior Volunteer Program, CHP officials said.

To qualify for the program, people must be 55 years old or older, be able to work at least four hours a week, pass a background check, have a good driving record and complete the CHP Senior Volunteer training program.
