Rich,

A letter from CHP only authorizes decal usage...not for you to drive on a public road.

I called CHP a couple of years ago, and they said then that they will only give permission to current CHP, retired CHP, and LEOs from other states.

That may have changed since then, so who knows. I called the public relations office, and I'm sure you can google them and find it easily.

Rich, I bet if you wrapped the doors in black you could drive all day the car. Even for months, then take the wrap off for a show. Bad part is you would need to continue to wrap and un-wrap the car if you wanted it as a daily driver as well. I know that is not your thing but maybe another could use this info.

FYI Members,I am now aware that the (CHP letter) is allowing you to use the CHP emblem for display on your car. I am still waiting for a response to my post asking ANYONE on this site to give me the proper contacts at the CHP so I can get the LETTER of approval. Just as I stated in my earlier post NOBODY on this site with this letter has posted or sent me a private message with this information. WHY??? I dont understand??? I feel as though we all need to help each other with various issues we will all run into with this hobby we have. If I had a LETTER from the CHP I would share the CHP contact information with EVERYONE on this site. I also think that the CHP should determin who will get a emblem use letter.

I have owned my 1985 CHP car for 23 years and I have all the documentation on my car since it was new. If anybody has any questions on 1985 CHP cars PLEASE feel free to emal me here and I will give you my phone number if you wish. Rich

Rich,

I never had a letter from them to own the decals as I live in Ohio. I would think that Mac88 could give you the info you need. Mike C are you out here?
