Below is an overview of the function of each of the respective sections.
Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Section

Throughout Vermont, trained officers inspect commercial vehicles and their drivers for compliance with state and federal motor carrier safety regulations. Inspections are conducted at interstate weigh stations as well as along many of the state’s frequently traveled rural roadways.
Investigative Section
Chief Inspector: Captain Scott Davidson
This section is comprised of Sworn and Non-Sworn Investigators and the Education & Safety Unit.
The primary focus of the Investigative Unit is to regulate, monitor, and investigate illegal or questionable activities relating to licensing, registration and title fraud, dealer and inspection regulations, and general law enforcement support services. The Education & Safety Unit is primarily responsible for regulating, licensing and monitoring of commercial driver training schools, third party testing programs, training and licensing School Bus Driver Training Instructors, and Pupil Transportation Safety laws and issues. In addition, this Section is responsible for research and analysis of many other highway safety-related issues.
