Description
This circa 1950 photograph shows the parking area of the Sacramento Squad Station for the California Highway Patrol at 2521 Stockton Boulevard. The property abutted the California State Fair Grounds which, prior to the agency's construction of an academy on Meadowview Road in 1954, served as a training spot for cadets. While at the Fair Grounds, recruits trained beneath the grandstand bleachers. Typical training topics included first aid, jiu jitsu, equipment maintenance and general police service. Prior to this, the academy was based at Mather Field.
