The Michigan State Police is looking to add members to the ranks of the Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Division.
If you are looking to make a difference in the lives of millions of Michigan motorists, consider a career as a Motor Carrier Officer. Motor Carrier Officers are members of the Michigan State Police with enforcement authority throughout the state of Michigan. Motor Carrier Officers specialize in commercial vehicles and duties include taking enforcement action, responding to emergencies, investigating traffic crashes, vehicle inspections, drug interdiction, weigh station operation, as well as public service presentations. Motor Carrier Officer's patrol is self-directed and encourages proactive and independent decision making.
No criminal justice or law enforcement experience required.
Motor Carrier Officers complete our training academy in Lansing, where they receive hands-on, lecture, and scenario-based instruction in firearms, patrol techniques, first aid, criminal law, precision driving, water safety, defensive tactics, report writing, ethics, FMCSA regulations, cultural diversity and implicit bias.
During the training academy recruits receive approximately $3,500 a month. Officers recieve annual raises and reach a top base salary of $61,000 after 6 years. This does not include overtime or shift premiums.
Every effort is made to make initial post assignment requests while balancing the needs of the agency. Officers are eligible to transfer to different post locations after completion of the training program.
Individual worksites set schedules but most prioritize day shifts. Officers work limited weekends shifts and recieve 12 paid holidays off a year.
Receive health, dental, vision and life insurance from the State of Michigan and accrue separate annual and sick leave time off each pay period.
All uniforms and equipment are provided.
