Traffic Section
Truck Unit
The Truck Unit consists of one sergeant and five officers who are responsible for the enforcement of commercial vehicle laws within Calgary city limits. Their mandate is to enhance commercial traffic safety through education and enforcement.
The unit also provides escorts for oversized loads and presents safety lectures to trucking companies. The officers also assist the public by answering questions about commercial vehicles.
All Truck Unit officers are trained Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) Inspectors. This qualifies them to conduct cursory mechanical inspections on commercial vehicles and enforce transportation industry legislation, including driver qualification, hours of operation, mechanical fitness, load/cargo security and the transportation of dangerous goods.
For assistance you can also go to any other Calgary Police Service facility and request the information be forwarded to the Truck Unit.
