Truck Weight Enforcement

Last week the Police Department did one of there regular truck weight enforcement programs. We purchased some scales a few years ago and with the proper training of the officers we have written quite a few tickets on overweights.

The numbers are startling:
72 tickets
$25,002 in fines levied.

The most recent enforcement project on August 2nd netted 4 tickets and a potential of $3,370 in fines. We have a couple of officers who are trained in truck overweights who have done an excellent job with this program in the last year or so. In the picture you can see the truck parked on the scales if you look closely.
