LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — The California Highway Patrol’s Clear Lake Area office is welcoming a new officer.
Officer Alex Zazueta is a newly promoted officer from the CHP Academy in West Sacramento.
Officer Zazueta was among more than 90 officers who graduated from the academy after 26 weeks of intense training on Jan. 5.
The CHP’s Clear Lake Area office said Officer Zazueta will receive extensive in-field training with experienced officers for approximately four months and later be on his own.
“Lake County is a unique area, different than larger metropolitan areas, with its own unique landscape and rural roadways that will test this officer’s skills. Our ultimate goal is to get all newly promoted officers ready to face the challenges they will encounter on a day-to-day basis so they can provide the highest level of Safety, Service, and Security to the people of California,” the agency said.
