New Bridgeport CHP commander introduces office to supervisors
Summary
Lieutenant Kurt Peterson, the new commander of the Bridgeport-area California Highway Patrol office, and public information officer Dennis Parks introduced themselves to the Mono County Board and described their presence and availability in the region.
Lieutenant Kurt Peterson, the new commander of the Bridgeport Area California Highway Patrol office, introduced himself and public information officer Dennis Parks to the Mono County Board of Supervisors during the meeting’s public comment period.
Peterson summarized his CHP career, describing assignments in the Morongo Basin, Truckee, South Lake Tahoe and Redwood City and saying he most recently promoted to lieutenant in January 2024. He said his predecessor, Lieutenant Mike Ritter, has retired.
Dennis Parks, the CHP public information officer, said he works Monday through Friday and that residents may leave a message if he is not in the office. Board members welcomed the CHP representatives and encouraged them to use the department’s social media to communicate closures and critical incidents. Peterson said the CHP social feed is currently restricted to fire or critical-incident posts to avoid accidental or noncritical postings.
The comments were introductory; no action or requests for county resources were recorded.
