Indiana police join TACT program

The Indiana State Police are the latest addition to a growing list of highway patrols around the country enlisting the help of the trucking industry.

Ticketing Aggressive Cars and Trucks is a program that pairs law enforcement with truckers to give the cops a bird’s-eye view of the antics pulled by four-wheelers and trucks alike.

Indiana calls its program Ticketing Aggressive Cars and Trucks - Ride Along, or TACT-RA.

The officer riding in the truck radios ahead to report violations, and the offender is pulled over by a marked vehicle.

The enforcement program is funded in part by grants from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
