The CHP canceled new cadet classes to avoid firing officers, hoping attrition within its 5,600 uniformed force covers the gap of 243 officers and 17 clerks. Some layoffs may be unavoidable per a letter from Commissioner Danta Lanza. Pay ranges from $826 to $1,106 monthly. Governor Brown proposed a 90 percent cutback for roadstop inspections and supported complete elimination per the Legislative Analyst.
