Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Thursday that California will expand its statewide crime suppression program, deploying additional California Highway Patrol (CHP) teams to six regions, including major metropolitan areas such as San Francisco, Oakland, Los Angeles, San Diego, and the Central Valley.
While at a press conference, Newsom was confronted about the public perception that the governor is sending mixed messages by denying there is a crime problem in California while expanding law enforcement operations.
