Today I'm talking to former Patrol Chief Mark Garrett, who was the division commander for the California Highway Patrol in LA county. Mark is one of those cops who I could interview on about a dozen topics but today I'm asking him about what makes the California Highway Patrol special and his experience in the CHP, one story about a certain Hollywood celebrity in particular.

Now don't miss what Mark says about why he believes the Highway Patrol is a special breed of law enforcement officer. And I especially want you to notice what he says about the specific jobs and roles he chose to do and which ones he chose not to do, and why.
