The Nebraska State Patrol hosted troopers and officers from eleven other states for a week of training that will help keep roadways safe across the country.
Last week, NSP Carrier Enforcement Troopers provided a series of training sessions focused on commercial motor vehicle safety, including inspections and post-crash investigations. The training included troopers and officers from Wyoming, Missouri, Iowa, Vermont, Illinois, Wisconsin, Texas, Nevada, New Jersey, Alaska, and South Dakota.
“Sharing knowledge across state lines helps keep roadways safe across the entire country,” said Captain Martin Denton, Commander of NSP Carrier Enforcement. “We shape these training sessions around what our troopers encounter in real life. We were proud to share those experiences with troopers and officers from many other states and continue the collaboration that has been ongoing for years.”
The training sessions provided both classroom and hands-on instruction in areas of forensic examination of commercial motor vehicles and completion of post-crash inspections of commercial motor vehicles. NSP received assistance from several local partners to make this training as valuable as possible. Thank you to the Nebraska Trucking Association, Kearney Towing, Dowhy Towing, Coach Masters, Andersen Wrecking, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, and others for their partnership.
