Welcome Back, Capt. Grimm

After an assignment in Susanville, Capt. Jason Grimm is now commander at the CHP Santa Cruz area, posted in Aptos.

One of his first duties: Introducing himself at the Aptos Chamber of Commerce luncheon at Seascape Golf Course May 9.

He previously was assigned to the Santa Cruz area from 2015-2019 in the role of motor sergeant. At that time, the CHP had a safety campaign to reduce crashes by focusing on drivers holding their cell phones while at a wheel, a ticket-able offense.

Grimm started as an officer with CHP Marin.

His journey with the CHP has taken him to locations such the CHP Capitol Protection Section, where he was an officer, and CHP Bakersfield and CHP San Luis Obispo, where he was a lieutenant. In 2023, he was promoted to captain in the CHP Susanville office.

Grimm also had a fellowship with the FBI in Washington, D.C., as a sergeant/lieutenant as part of the Joint Counterterrorism Assessment Team.
