I am pretty sure I met the newest CHP Commander Marc Peachey when he first served this community as an officer a couple years back. I met him between Comberg and Quincy I think. It wasn't under favorable conditions. No hard feelings…
Marc has been a CHP for 28 years, moving first to Redwood City, up to Truckee, over to Quincy, down to Sacramento, and back to Quincy. He is the father of 4, with a house in Reno and Graeagle. He is into endurance sports, running marathons, mountain biking, and swimming.
He introduced Matt De La Montanya, the CHP PIO. Both addressed rumors about the new office being built on Lee Road. It is not a training facility, just a replacement office, enlarging the footprint to include a conference room, evidence room, and plenty of parking. All the technology will be updated as well.
Currently, 28 officers serve this area along with 3 supervisors and office help.
Peachey's goal is "to be proactive to lower the number of collisions.”
And by the way, PDH provided a lovely backdrop, along with a great meal, for Monday's meeting.
