Sumario:Results from searches for heavy, stable, charged particles are presented using data from pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of $13~\mathrm{TeV}$ using $12.9~\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ data from 2016 LHC operations. The distinctive signatures of large $dE/dx$ and long time-of-flight are used to discriminate signal from background using the CMS detector. The data are consistent with expected background. Upper limits are set on the cross section for production of long-lived gluinos, scalar tops, scalar taus, and lepton-like fermions. In addition, lower mass limits are set for these signals. The mass limit on gluinos is found to be $1850~\mathrm{GeV}$.
