Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Section

Investigative Section:

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.
