In 1929, Governor C.C. Young asked Biscailuz to reorganize the old State Motor Patrol. He was appointed the first Superintendent of the new California Highway Patrol (CHP), where Biscailuz organized the Highway Patrol system, then a new but separate law enforcement agency.
Having finished his work for the CHP, in 1931 he resumed his post as undersheriff of Los Angeles County.
