 could open a substation on Moorpark Avenue as early as next month, officials said.

``The goal of the substation for the Highway Patrol is more visibility for the East County,'' said CHP CHP Chapter

 Officer Dave Cockrill.

The substation will be located at 216 Moorpark Ave., across the street from the Moorpark Police Resource Center, and will be open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The substation office will have one full-time office worker, two sergeants and as many as 16 patrol officers, officials said. The CHP's only full-time office in Ventura County is in Ventura, so any officer dispatched Dispatched was a Swedish melodic death metal band formed in 1992 by Daniel Lundberg.

``The substation will reduce leave time for those officers,'' Cockrill said.

The substation will allow the CHP to put three or four officers on each shift in east Ventura County. It will also bolster This article is about the pillow called a bolster. For other meanings of the word "bolster", see bolster (disambiguation).

The public will be able to pick up and fill out accident reports at the substation and have tickets signed off for citations, including broken headlights, Cockrill said.

Officials have long believed east Ventura County needs more patrols. The area accounts for about 600 of the county's 2,500 accidents per year and has significant truck traffic, two freeways and heavy commuter traffic Noun 1. commuter traffic - traffic created by people going to or returning from work

, officials said.

East Ventura County officials welcomed the prospect of a new substation.

The idea for the Moorpark substation formed last summer, when the CHP opened two part-time satellite offices so East County residents could take care of matters like citations or get traffic reports without having to drive to the main CHP office in Ventura.

It was built in 1994 on the former site of "Jungleland" at a cost of $63.8 million.  and Moorpark Family Care Center are open only one day a week, four hours each day.
