Hi there!
Like you, I am currently a civilian with an interest in the CHP. Like you, I visit chpforums.com in order to be informed about the process and stay up to date on current CHP / law enforcement news and events. Like you, I acknowledged during the sign up process that I would not ask hiring questions until such time as the hiring forum was reopened. Like you, I'm interested in working for the most well-known and respected law enforcement agency in the world.
Law enforcement officers, regardless of agency affiliation (and by very definition) enforce the rules of society. You have chosen to participate in discussions that are open to all of us at the discretion of the Administrators here, provided that we FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS.
So, I'm kind of curious, and maybe some of you can help me out. Why do the hiring questions persist?
If you can't follow the rules here, as a civilian, how on Earth can you expect the CHP to believe that you can not only follow the rules and directions of the Department, but fairly and honestly enforce the rules out on the road?
As an applicant, you must consistently demonstrate the ability to follow rules and directions during an intense and lengthy hiring process. By coming to these forums and not following the rules, you're accomplishing all the wrong things, and creating more obstacles for yourself.
When you get to that stage in the process where you're asked about your preparation for the job, chpforfums.com could come up. It's entirely possible that you'll run across an officer (whether in your QAP, BI, or at the Academy) who uses these forums. Do you really want to create heartache for yourself by having it come out that you were a nuisance on this website?
I think I speak for most of us here when I say welcome to the boards. Read through the threads and learn what you can. Participate in the discussions, and practice your reading comprehension and writing skills. Utilize the resources here to make yourself a better, more qualified applicant.
But please, for Pete's sake, don't ruin this forum for all of us by asking hiring questions. The CHP has plenty of official resources available to you (recruiters, PAOs, etc) for those hiring questions, and it's much better for all of us if you utilize those avenues instead of hindering yourself with non-compliance on this website.
Have fun in here, and be safe out there.

Feel free to remove this if I've overstepped my bounds here. I know all this has been said before, but obviously people still haven't learned. I really don't want to see the forums disappear for those of us that aren't on the job.
