Published: June 18, 2026 | By LocalJobPage Team
Fresno, CA — If a career in law enforcement has ever crossed your mind, the California Highway Patrol is making it easy to learn the ropes. On Tuesday, August 4, CHP's Central Division hosts an in-person hiring seminar in Fresno covering officer careers and general support positions.
One evening, straight answers about the hiring process, pay, and what it takes, from the people who do the hiring.
What is happening August 4
The CHP Central Division hiring seminar runs the evening of Tuesday, August 4, starting at 5:30 p.m. at the CHP Fresno area office. These sessions walk candidates through the application steps, the physical and written testing, the academy, and what daily work actually looks like. If you have questions about getting hired, this is where to ask them.
Why a state career is worth a look
Law enforcement and state careers offer something a lot of valley jobs do not: strong benefits, a pension, structured advancement, and real job security. CHP roles also include non-sworn general positions, so even if becoming an officer is not your path, there can be a way to serve and earn on the support side.
How to prepare
Come ready to take notes and ask questions. If you are serious about the officer track, start getting in shape now, because physical fitness is part of the process. Bring questions about timelines, testing, and the academy. And if general positions interest you, ask what is open and what the qualifications look like.
