New CHP commander in Weaverville emphasizes local presence and asks for community tips
Summary
Lieutenant Paul Gullick, the new CHP Weaverville commander, introduced himself to the Board of Supervisors, said he lives in the county and asked residents to contact him with enforcement concerns; he said extra patrols at a recent event were due to statewide enforcement and community requests, not the event itself.
Lieutenant Paul Gullick, commander of the California Highway Patrol's Weaverville office, introduced himself to the Trinity County Board of Supervisors on July 21 and urged residents and local officials to notify his office about enforcement issues.
Gullick said he has lived in the county for roughly six years and described his intention to emphasize community relations and collaboration across local and state partners. He told the board that an officer's extra patrol presence at a recent Trinity GM event coincided with a statewide maximum enforcement period and a local request for extra patrols, and was not tied directly to the event itself.
"If there are problems or issues that I don't know about, I can't fix them," Gullick said, asking the public to contact his sergeants or him directly with information. He described limits to what he and his officers can do but said he would seek answers and follow up on questions raised by supervisors.
Board members offered to share calendar and event information with Gullick to help his office attend local meetings and events. The CAO and staff later noted public-safety topics elsewhere on the agenda, including emergency communications upgrades.
