Angel works from the Stockton office for all of San Joaquin County. Like many CHP officers, he chose to work in the area in which he grew up. He enjoys educating the public on the many services of the CHP. Enforcement is will known but the force carries out many educational programs

There are several programs for education, such as a two day program for seniors. The Age Well-Drive Smart program designed for older drivers wishing to continue driving. The Start Smart program is a two hour course for teenage drivers held at CHP headquarters.

He explained that the Every 15 Minute program is based on the statistic that every 15 minutes in the U.S. someone dies or is seriously injured in an alcohol related accident.

The CHP is funded through DMV registrations, not from tickets issued. There are no quotas.

There are three types if violations – moving violations, non-moving violations which include use of cell phone, texting and no seatbelt and mechanical violations such as no front license plate, tinted windows in front half of car, anything hanging from the rearview mirror and a cracked windshield.

Angel Arceo was introduced by Bill Gass.
