WOW, That was amazing, I could watch this all day long & never get bored. The expert control & confidence at speed & in close proximity is excellent... Gotta love the sound & raw power of those Hemi's .... The 360's are my favorite.... Seeing this much skill & car control... it does make you wonder why Cali allows pursuits to drag on for unnecessarily long times.... get in, show em who's boss & shut em down. Great video
I just witnessed a EVOC demonstration today (1-24-20)....these officers are PROS all the way. All the cars and motors are stock, except they turn OFF all the computer controlled safety features (like ABS and traction control) that keep we mortal drivers safer. It was like watching the Blue Angels of the automotive world. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING...So glad they’re on our side.
Didn't work for CHP, but did work motors in Los Angeles for several years. The high speed stuff on a motor is dangerous. What is really difficult are the low speed maneuvers you have to do to graduate from Motor School. Neat thing was there was a barbeque when we finished the school and we were all now BCMC's
Thanks for the great video. I was there for the 2014 reunion & car show. Brought my 2002 Camaro CHP EVOC car. I was disappointed that they wouldn't let me take a lap later.
@@CWake1 Not this drifting stuff which is only good for show. But all other driving associated with being a police officer, yes. We didnt have a huge budget, so wasting tires and working a car hard for no reason was not acceptable.
For anyone who has ever thought about doing this, just imagine getting PAID to do it. You will have to do a little more research for your oral interview.
1 in 10 get "here, the academy" Then there is a failure rate "here" as well and then a failure rate once they get into the field. It's definitely not a cake walk. My class in the 70's graduated 40 of 65 cadets that tried.
I worked 32 years around and with many LAPD. Had many good friends, Devonshire, N. Hwd, Valley, Divisions and downtown. Had a neighbor when I lived in N Hwd. that worked Pacoima. Good people. Then you remember the the SLA shoot out, Hillside Strangler, Rodney King, N. Hwd shootout and all of the associated riots we all went to.
I do. Except the B of A shoot out on No. Hollywood. Retired 2 months earlier. Many good memories, one of my favorites involved the SLA incident. Do you know what SLA stands for? So Long Assholes!
Hey mate, is it OK to feature your clip in a my chanel for educational purposes (so-called temporary copyright.)? You can stop me from using your content at any time and it will be deleted immediately. It will be credited in the description & comments section with your name. Thanks, MM
Funny because in real life, CHP NEVER flys that low in a pursuit. In fact, they always fly about 800-1000’ AGL. Waaay too high. We always chuckle at that.
@@CWake1 I’m a retired helicopter pilot in LA. San Bernardino county sheriff air support is about the only agency in the state that shoots at vehicles from the air. About once per year they do it. CHP doesn’t.
@@CWake1 LA Sheriff trains for it but they don’t do it. Last time they did it was in the 90’s against robbery suspects that shot at the helicopter. San Bernardino Sheriff seems to have one shooting from the helicopter almost every year.
Wtf is the point in just ripping the hand brake over and over my 8 year old girl knows how to do that.none of this impresses me at all idl why youtibe puts it on my home to view
I don't represent the CHP. My dad is a retired officer, but I think it's a demonstration of skills required by the instructors. It shows the cadets how skilled they are and inspires confidence that they are receiving instruction by top professionals. Also, the CHP is looked up to worldwide by similar law enforcement agencies and thus, they host a lot of dignitaries who come to see their training techniques. It also shows the public that their tax dollars are being spent by professionals, not keystone cops. These are just my opinions!
I went through the academy in the 70's. The CHP then, was driving full size 4 door, 440 - 69, 70, 71, Dodges. We were trained by the same type of skilled instructors then in the big Dodges. When I got into the field in Los Angeles we were driving the same Dodges at higher rates of speed in un-controlled conditions. What the academy taught you was your capabilities and the vehicles as well and the confidence that you could maintain control of that vehicle at those speeds and conditions, using good judgment as.
Training? Yes! If trainees were driving these cars that way, there would be no cars left to demonstrate! I’m sure a trainee, or even a non-trainee have put cars like this in those dangerous skids by accident, and not lived to talk about it. These men & women are training future officers how to get through these dangerous situations safely. You are witnessing how it’s done, and experiencing a little entertainment (hopefully) to boot...
I agree, we need to spend less tax dollars on law enforcement, and more tax dollars on illegals. Note - you are not an immigrant unless you enter legally, and to a reasonable degree assimilate.
To be fair, these are the driving instructors, Its important that they have this kind of ability to drive in order to instruct future officers. The CHP is also the standard by which other agencies are judged. I hate government overspending too, believe me, I'm a libertarian, and I know law enforcement isn't too popular at this point in history, but I believe this is money well spent.
DMV fee's are technically taxes. You pay an annual fee/tax to register your car. Besides, even if our taxes did directly pay for their budget/salaries, it would make sense. They are a state agency so, naturally, the state gets it's income via taxes. They ain't going to work for free. Hah.
