Brett J. Oswald served in the United States Army for two
years and later graduated from the CHP Academy in 1990.
For the next 20 years, Officer Oswald served the CHP as a
flight officer in the Santa Fe Springs Area Office, a
traffic officer in the King City Area Office, a flight
officer in the Paso Robles Coastal Division Air Operations
Office, and a traffic officer in the Templeton Area Office.
On June 27, 2010, Officer Oswald was killed in the line of
duty in Paso Robles when he was struck by a vehicle while
standing beside his patrol car on the side of the road
waiting for a tow truck at the scene of an abandoned
vehicle. Officer Oswald was known as a hard-working,
dedicated officer who loved his job and enjoyed his
colleagues and as a loyal family man who loved his wife
dearly. He had an incredible sense of humor and zest for
life, was always smiling and happy, and saw the beauty in
everything.
This resolution names the interchange of State Route (SR)
101 and SR 46 East, which is four miles from the
interchange of SR 101 and SR 46 West. The Department of
Transportation (Caltrans) has plans to reroute a portion of
SR 46 and create a single intersection with SR 101. When
that occurs, the interchange named in this resolution will
cease to exist. This resolution prepares for that
eventuality by transferring the naming and directing
Caltrans to relocate the signs upon receiving non-state
funds to cover the costs.
This resolution designates the interchange at the
intersection of SR 101 and 46 East in the City of Paso
Robles as the "California Highway Patrol Officer Brett J.
Oswald Memorial Interchange." This resolution further
requests Caltrans to erect appropriate signs only upon
receiving donations from non-state sources sufficient to
cover the cost.
