BPD TO CONDUCT COMMERCIAL VEHICLE INSPECTIONS — Bridgeport Police Department can now conduct commercial motor vehicle inspections after earning certification through the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS). The certification allows the department to inspect 18-wheelers for maintenance compliance and operational safety. Bridgeport officers will conduct inspections of commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) traveling through the city through a memorandum of understanding with DPS. Bridgeport PD started a field training period for these inspections this week, and will officially go live after logging 30 additional inspections with a certified officer, Stanford explained.
