Why I Wear The Badge - Chapter 7: DUI

I am a retired CHP Officer and I was on duty and worked the traffic accident this future officer was involved in. I'm grateful he survived and is currently working as a fine example of the CHP.

I find it crazy how often drunk drivers walk away from accidents. Thank you CHP for doing all you can to hold these careless people accountable. Stuff like this is why I want to join the ranks of CHP.

Thank you CHP officers for your service. From Florida, FHP

Damn DUI drivers. They always have to ruin everything.

Thank God the officer made a full recovery and is able to help prevent others from what happened to him.

God bless all the chp officers !!!

I love this video. Such an inspiration!🙏🏻

Whenever you post a video , my first action is to push the thumbs up. I had a 37 year career mostly in various aspects of EMS with a break of 8 years of Naval Service. I started in Oakland as a BLS EMT as there were no Paramedics then. Graduated with the first group of Paramedics of Alameda County , one of my Classmates and partner went from being a Paramedic to the CHP , retiring as a Captain. I eventually became a board certified Emergency Nurse , RN CEN working in busy Level One and Two Trauma Centers. I have a problem with alcohol. I loathe drunken behavior and in the Navy and Marine Corps back then , binging and idiocy was the norm. I , as a Corpsman picked up the pieces. From the streets to the ED you see every shift what impaired driving does. Usually the innocent victims get the worst injuries. The smell of alcohol and blood is a mixture that imprints on your brain. Impaired drivers are selfish, the tertiary effects of a DUI Car crash adversely effects all first responders , all witnesses and all Emergency Physicians and Nurses. The CHP and a great deal of local LEO get many “ deuces “ off the roads , citizens have a moral duty to notify 911 in a safe manner , if one sees a DUI. Citizens also have a moral duty to ask legislators for increased penalties for DUI. Why people with multiple DUI’s are on the road vs locked up is frustrating. The economic impacts of one 11:80 due to DUI are tens of thousands of dollars. Lastly , when it’s daytime and you see a CHP Officer or any other LEO , smile and wave , with all five fingers. SF

Thank you for your service 🙏🏻🇺🇸
