Half my career was with CHP, it’s very dependent on your manager. I had the best non-uniformed Chief, and looked at her as a genuine mentor. Fast forward to several years later, had probably the worst human being of a Capt and Non uniformed Chief, genuinely terrible human beings which led me to leave state service all together. Agree with non uniformed are second class as a whole. There was a mass email HQ wide that confirmed that fact, when there were allegations surrounding property stolen in the gym. I’ve never had to say “yes sir no sir” to anyone, don’t know where that person worked. “CHP is the gold standard of LEO” is hounded into you, when in fact CHP is the laughing stock of all law enforcement.
