General A�reement ._ �._� In accordance with Transportation Code § 621.402, DPS has established the following parameters for approved Allied Agencies seeking to enforce the defined state laws within Transportation Code Chapter 621, Subchapter 1='. In order to maximize the uniform enforcement of statute, the parties enter into this Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) regarding training, approved scale use, annual scale re-calibration standards, violation report requirements, and mandated annual reporting. II. ��f�� f��s��milities In order to better implement and maintain the standards in this MOU, DPS will; 1. Train, retrain (as necessary or desirable), test and certify the officers of any qualified Allied Agency. 2. Forward any weight enforcement complaints or challenges to the issuing Allied Agency. DPS may conduct random, in-person observation of weight enforcement inspections conducted by an Allied Agency in order to ensure that Allied Agency's officers are adhering to DPS certification standards. III. Allied A�ency_�.��ar��I��1�1;i�IT� A. Certification Training Allied Agency must enroll their commissioned, full-time officers in the 40 hour, Basic CVE course conducted at the direction of the DPS Motor Carrier Bureau. A commissioned officer must obtain 80% or better to become certified as a"weight enforcement officer."
