The commander of the Hollister-Gilroy Area of the California Highway Patrol, Capt. Allen Stallman, has retired. There was a celebration of his distinguished career of more than 25 years of service on Feb. 21 at the “Old City Hall” in Gilroy, according to an announcement from the CHP. A representative from Assemblyman Luis Alejo’s Office, Jaiver Gomez, was in attendance to present Stallman with an assembly resolution signed by Alejo and State Sen. Bill Monning. From the CHP’s Coastal Division, Chief Reggie Chappelle presented Stallman with his retirement certificate, and Assistant Chief Scott Howland presented him with his retired captain’s badge.

According to the CHP, under his command the Senior Volunteer program was implemented and the CHP has begun presenting the Age Well Drive Smart classes for Senior Drivers.
