The Trucks on Patrol for Safety, or TOPS, is conducted by the patrol and supported by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration... Professional drivers who operate large trucks are teaming up with patrol troopers who use their front-seat view from the semitrailer to witness, document and report violations to other troopers in the area. The patrol's air support unit also is being utilized to help support this year's TOPS deployments...
