           SUBJECT  :    CHP Officer Charles T. Smith Memorial Highway

           SOURCE  :     Author


           DIGEST  :    This resolution designates a segment of State 
          Route 5 as the CHP Officer Charles T. Smith Memorial 
          Highway.

           ANALYSIS  :    Charles Taylor Smith was born April 9, 1928 in 
          Denison, Texas, and graduated from the CHP Academy in 1952 
          after serving two years as a military policeman with the 
          United States Marine Corps (USMC).  Upon graduation, CHP 
          Officer Taylor was assigned to the El Centro Area, where he 
          served his entire four year career.  During a routine 
          traffic stop for a speeding violation on September 9, 1956, 
          Officer Smith was shot in the back three times by the 
          speeding vehicle's passenger while frisking the driver.  
          Both suspects were absent without leave from the USMC and 
          engaged in a crime spree.  Although mortally wounded, 
          Officer Smith returned fire and fatally shot both suspects. 


          Officer Smith is remembered as a hard-working, dedicated 
                                                           CONTINUED

          officer who loved his job, as well as a proud husband and 
          father.  He is survived by his wife, daughter, siblings, 
          and two grandchildren.

          This resolution:

          1. Recounts the life and career of CHP Officer Charles 
             Smith, who was killed in the line of duty. 

          2. Designates the westbound segment of State Route 5 (SR 5) 
             between County Road 25 and SR 32 in Glenn County as the 
             "CHP Officer Charles T. Smith Memorial Highway." 

          3. Requests the Department of Transportation to determine 
             the costs of erecting the appropriate signs, consistent 
             with the signing requirements for the state highway 
             system, showing this special designation, and upon 
             receiving donations from non-state sources covering the 
             cost, to erect those signs.
