SC Transport Police

Anyone have any good tips/advice on the SC Transport Police? My assignment to VA fell thru, so I am hoping to PCS to Charleston.

What info exactly are you looking for and what is the time frame you're working with?

I've always thought their primary responsibility was trucking but I do think they do other things on the side...traffic enforcement etc.

Their uniforms (field ones) are pretty nice and their cars at least the new ones, are a lighter grey more like SCHP. I have seen quite a few of their patrol cars with laptops but I really know very little about them.

I was just curious about the morale, and such, since I hadn't heard much about this Dept. I was wondering if it was akin to the Maryland Transportation Authority Police.

It sounds more akin to MSP's commercial vehicle enforcement division than to the Transportation Authority Police.

John would be correct. It involves commercial vehicles, weight checks, traffic, load inspections, etc. etc..... As far as morale goes, I can't remember ever hearing one of those guys saying the job sucked or looking to get out so it must be pretty good.
