The Kentucky State Police Division of Commercial Vehicle Enforcement (CVE), commonly known in the Commonwealth as Kentucky Vehicle Enforcement (KVE), is a statewide law enforcement agency for the Commonwealth of Kentucky. The Division employs both sworn officers and civilian commercial vehicle inspectors. CVE's primary purpose is the enforcement of all state laws/regulations on commercial and non commercial vehicles traveling throughout the Commonwealth of Kentucky. CVE's secondary purpose is to conduct drug interdiction operations on the Commonwealth's state and county highways, working jointly with the KSP's Special Operations Division D.E.S.I. (Drug Enforcement and Special Investigations) unit. The CVE Division operates and monitors the Commonwealth's system of commercial vehicle weigh stations throughout Kentucky. Their headquarters is located in Frankfort.
History
The Division of Commercial Vehicle Enforcement was a stand-alone department (known as the Kentucky Department of Vehicle Enforcement) until July 14, 2008, when an executive order from then-Governor Steve Beshear, integrated it into the Kentucky State Police (KSP).{{cite web |url=http://www.governor.ky.gov/pressrelease.htm?PostingGUID={D5D89AE0-8945-4CAD-A4D7-2B0D736673C3} |title=Kentucky Vehicle Enforcement to become a division of KSP |publisher=Office of Communications of the Governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky |accessdate=2008-07-20}}Image:Kentucky Vehicle Enforcement Police.jpg
