The
California State Police
(CSP) was a state level
security police
agency founded in 1887 which primarily served to protect the
State Capitol Building
, the
Governor
, other state agencies located throughout the state and thousands of State employees 24 hours a day. They provided
security
and
police
services to all state agencies that did not have their own police force. They patrolled the State Water Project (also known as the
California Aqueduct
) and were the state's
de facto
capitol police
. They provided dignitary protection for the
Governor
and other state officials as directed, including the
California Supreme Court
in
San Francisco
. They provided investigative services to elected officials through their Threat Assessment Detail and criminal investigations of crimes committed against the State through the Bureau of Investigative Services. They also performed tax seizures for the
California Franchise Tax Board
and
Board of Equalization
. Detectives and Line officers routinely conducted investigations with other State Agencies and allied law enforcement departments. State Police officers held jurisdiction throughout the State, providing law enforcement on and off California properties. The California State Police merged with the
California Highway Patrol
in 1995.
