ISP/CVED Participates in Multi-State Enforcement

 

Indianapolis, IN. - Recently, troopers and civilian motor carrier inspectors from the Indiana State Police Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Division participated in a two day enforcement effort with CVED employees from Michigan and Ohio. The three state detail targeted the I-70 and I-75 corridors focusing on unsafe driving behaviors by both commercial and non-commercial drivers. Enforcement officers targeted violations such as following too close, unsafe lane movement, failure to obey traffic control device, speeding, reckless driving, to name a few.

CMV officers also conducted 781 truck inspections that identified a total of 1014 violations.

“We are very pleased to be partnering with our Commercial Vehicle Enforcement officers from Michigan and Ohio to promote this very important traffic enforcement project,” stated Indiana State Police Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Division Captain Jon Smithers. “We want the public to be aware that we are aggressively working to detect both CMV and non-CMV traffic violators that could result in the unsafe operation of a Commercial Motor Vehicle.”
