State Police Add Enforcement Power Thirty-five state police troopers have begun an on-the-job training program that will quickly strengthen the department's enforcement of statewide trucking operations. State police superintendent Robert K. Konkle, acting on authorization granted during the 1971 session of the General Assembly, appointed 20 troopers to enforcement of the state’s public service commission regulations. An additional 15 officers have been assigned to work at truck weighing stations and operating portable scales on roving patrols. Prior to appointment of the 15 officers to weighing duties, Konkle explained, only about half the 28 permanent scale sites in Indiana could be opened on any regular basis. “We should now be able to keep each station operating at least eight hours,”

he said. To further reinforce weighing operations and checking size regulations, fuel tax permits, safety equipment and licensing and registration laws, state police are currently recruiting 30 civilian weighmen. Staff Captain S. R. Wasson, head of the state police motor carrier division, pointed out that the 20 officers appointed to enforcement of PSC regulations will concentrate their efforts on the “for hire” transporters which includes checking for comcarried. routes traveled, hours spent driving and proper operating authority. Training for the newly appointed group of officers began Friday in Indianapolis. After one day of classroom orientation, the trooper specalists return to their districts to begin actual enforcement under the supervision of veteran motor carrier officers. “We have a serious manpower shortage in state police ranks.” superintendent Konkle said, “but we also have an important responsibility of preventing highway destruction by overweight trucks and getting unsafe trucks out of our traffic flow.” In 1970, a force of only 13 state police motor carrier inspection officers checked 325,875 trucks and effected 9,511 arrests. Their enforcement action resulted in fines and civil penalties that totaled $775,964. * Three Car Accident Results In Damages A three-car chain reaction collision FYiday afternoon in Warsaw resulted in minor damages.

Richardson, 18, r 5 Warsaw, collided as all were going north of North Detroit street, 100 feet north of Lyon street. Mrs. Baumgartner was attempting a right hand turn and Richardson had slowed down.

Mrs. Baumgartner’s auto received $l5O, the W’ampler auto received damages to the fender, hood, grill and bumper and Richardson’s new Thunderbird received S4OO. Sgt. Ted Ward investigated. Miller Vehicle Damaged Thursday Clifford Miller of 506 South Main street, Syracuse, reported to Syracuse police Friday morning of damage to his car parked in front of his home during the night. Syracuse police reported s4l in damages to the windshield - wipers which were bent, a side mirror broken and hub cap damaged.
