Three join local CHP
JOSHUA TREE ” Three graduates of the California Highway Patrol Academy were assigned to the Morongo Basin station Wednesday, spokesman Officer Rob McLoud announced.
With the addition of the three officers, the Morongo Basin has a total of 24 sworn personnel, according to McLoud.
“The new officers bring diverse life experience along with their recent CHP Academy training to the Morongo Basin area,” McLoud stated.
Officer Manuel Cacatian, of Brawley, speaks both English and Spanish. He is a 1997 graduate of Brawley High School.
Officer Joshua Cavolt, an avid outdoorsman, has a background in small business and is a 1999 graduate of Colfax High School.
Officer Stephanie Hamilton, a U.S. Air Force Reservist, is married to a CHP officer assigned to the Indio office.
She is a 1998 graduate of Riverside Poly High School and has been a physical education teacher and high school softball coach.
It is anticipated all three officers will move into full duty after their field-training period.
The three were among 173 new officers sworn in May 15 at the CHP Academy in West Sacramento.
The graduation ceremony was the culmination of 27 weeks of intense training, McLoud said.
The class included 33 military veterans, including 12 who served in combat zones and one individual who trained dolphins for the Navy.
There were five college athletes, one of whom played professional basketball in Greece.

" I think the law states that window tint is allowed if it does not hamper or obstruct a person from looking into a vehicle from the outside.
This was created because very dark windows were being used by criminals and it was putting law enforcement in a very tough situation when doing the so called routine traffic stop.
If you are bringing this up it must mean that you have very dark tint on your windows or you are a criminal, not sure what to think but I bet your window tint is what they used to see in Los Angeles back in the 1970's when cops were getting shot a lot.
If your reason for the dark tint is not criminal, then why not just turn on your air conditioner cool down the interior of the car and put on dark sun glasses so the cops don't freak out when they stop you for whatever reason.
If your car does not have a/c then you can solve both problems by selling it and getting one with little or no tint and some a/c, then we won't see you getting pulled over for dark tinted windows and the world will revolve again! "

" Wow, Bob. Thanks for the information and unsolicited advice, (as snarky as it was)
Ya know, it never dawned on me to turn on my A/C and wear shades! Wow! What a novel idea! You're a genius, Bob!
Not that it's any of YOUR business BUT I am not a criminal ("Congrats! Glad to see more patrol up and down Hwy62!") Does that make me sound like a criminal? I work in Palm Springs - I'm sure an old codger like you doesn't go out in the summer time - but let me tell you- A/C or not, Window Tint saves your car interior, keeps your car cooler - also helps protect your skin from UV Rays. I don't have limo black windows - but even so even the slightest tint is against the law.
Next time you want to give me advice or lecture me, try to think of something a little more enlightening.

" Go back and really read the law, it does not state no window tint just that it can't obstruct viewing the interior of the car from the outside.
You opened yourself up to a snarky comment when you went off the deep end and commented about window tint, just where in the original article does it say anything about that?
If your that thin skinned (Pun intended) don't go outside anymore till it gets dark, my commenting on that subject is my business as much as anyone else's because you opened the door first! "
