Funding comes through the voter-approved Proposition 64, which directs the CHP to administer grants for impaired driving education, prevention, and enforcement programs. The grants also fund forensic toxicology testing at crime laboratories. Program revenue comes from taxes on cannabis and cannabis products sold in California. “The substantial increase in grant funding this year will help even more communities keep California’s roadways safe. These grants support education, strengthen enforcement efforts to remove impaired drivers from our roads, and expand research and forensic testing to improve traffic safety across the state.” -CHP Commissioner Sean Duryee Strengthening Local Enforcement The CHP awarded grants to 160 law enforcement agencies to support impaired-driving enforcement across California. In addition to enforcement operations, agencies will use the funding to train drug recognition evaluators, expand their ability to identify drug-impaired drivers, and conduct public education campaigns through community events and presentations. Expanding Public Education Twelve agencies received education grants to raise public awareness of impaired driving laws and to educate Californians about the dangers of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Improving Forensic Testing Ten agencies received two-year toxicology crime laboratory grants to reduce forensic testing backlogs, improve laboratory capacity, and purchase or upgrade testing equipment. Advancing DUI Data Collection One medical examiner’s office received a two-year grant to improve data collection for impaired-driving cases. A complete list of the 2026 grant recipients is available on the CHP website. The CHP expects to open the next grant application period in early 2027. Additional information on the Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program is available on the CHP website.

As part of the operation, warning notifications were mailed to the registered owners of vehicles observed engaging in or soliciting prostitution-related activity. These notices are intended to highlight the legal consequences of this conduct and its direct connection to the exploitation of vulnerable members of our community. Human trafficking is not a victimless crime. It causes real harm to individuals and affects the safety and well-being of the community. Reducing demand is a critical step in protecting victims and preventing further exploitation. The Lancaster Police Department remains committed to enforcing the law, supporting survivors, and partnering with the community to keep Lancaster safe
