Commercial Vehicle Enforcement
Reduce commercial vehicle collisions through enforcement
Ensure safety and mobility of public
Protect roadways from damage
The Southlake Police Department’s Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Unit currently operates with the following goals:
Reducing commercial vehicle collisions through enforcement of state,
local and federal transportation laws.
Ensuring the safety of the general public by securing compliance with all applicable traffic laws.
Protecting city roadways from damage related
to overweight commercial vehicles
The CVE Officer is trained and certified by the Texas Department of Public Safety and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration to perform North
American roadside, hazardous materials, and cargo tank inspections. This allows the CVE officer to stop commercial vehicles due to safety concerns and without the normal probable cause
that must exist for a routine traffic stop.

Interlocal Mutual Aid Agreement
Adds Bedford to current agreement with no other substantive changes
Allows joint CVE details that rotate through each city in order to maximize productivity and safety
Formalizes current
operations within state guidelines
Conducting joint Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Details allows the limited number of CVE officers from each department to work together on a monthly basis in order to conduct a coordinated
detail, which rotates through the partner cities. The Cities of Grapevine, Hurst, and Euless are already part of the current agreement, and this resolution will add Bedford with no
other substantive changes. The agreement will allow the cities to continue their current operations without the presence of State DPS Troopers. As a result, Southlake benefits by 5
joint operations taking place in our city each year.
