Our hearts go out to the family of Officer Miguel Cano and the @CHP_HQ.
With broken hearts, we share the loss of our CHP family member, Officer Miguel Cano, ID 23555. He passed in the line of duty on July 2, 2025. Miguel served with pride, honor, and dedication. We grieve with his loved ones and will never forget his sacrifice. #CHP #EndOfWatch
