Looks like a cool car in the background too!

0238 update! Not only am I pleased to report that the officer in the photos is said to be Dave Webb, but there's also a new (to me) photo to add to the 3 already out there:

Another exciting find is a second photo of 0360. The officer remains unknown as of now.

The wall behind these photos is located in the inner quad at the CHP Academy.

The photo of 0360... I entered the CHP Academy 1-10-83.
CHP had just received it's first batch of mustangs. It was all they were talking about.
Every classroom had the Ford poster on the walls, " This Ford chases Porsches for a living," I think we all know which poster that one is.

We had a black instructor, Sgt. Anderson, funny guy, he taught "Creative Writing " That looks like that could be him, not for sure though. but looks like him.
That photo was probably taken spring 1983 while I was there.
Could have been fall of 1982, since the officer is wearing a long sleeve shirt.

Good picture !

Thanks, John and thanks for the possible ID on Sgt. Anderson. I will see what I can come up with.

I did have some luck with putting a name to a face last week. The owner of 0209, who is a retired CHP officer, recognized and got in contact with the man in this picture: Sgt. Bruce Mauldin. Sgt. Mauldin confirmed that he was a public affairs officer when that photo with Kings player, LaSalle Thompson was taken.

Mauldin sure sounds familiar.
He and I may have crossed paths once or twice.

Nice you are gathering this info ! Sad the Patrol has never done this.

There was a consensus on the FB group, CHP Old School, that the officer in 0360 is retired Chief Greg Manuel. I'll pass along anything else that pops up. Fun, fun!

'New' Old In-Service Picture
 

I was able to get my hands on a copy of the Ford Times issue with the 'High Powered Herd' article. 0218 is front and center with scores of '82's waiting to be put into service in the background. It is not possible to make it out in scans however, I was clearly able to ID another '82 through the windshield of 0218- 0257! Only two unit numbers away from Steve's original car.

I posted that article here awhile back...pretty cool.

Any idea on how to become a member of that group? I sent a request but never heard back.
