I know that LSP's are Troop - Unit Number (F-47, F-40, etc.....), last night i heard TS-29 on Troop F Dispatch. Does anyone know who this is and what the ts stands for?

Would that be a Safety Officer,.. or the like? I don't have a DPS listing for LSP, like I have for MS DPS yet.

no idea, hes been making traffic stops
Well there is a clue- Traffic Stops...
Traffic Safety-TS
Now you just have to figure out what agency this kind of officer would be affiliated with.

Does LADOT do regular vehicles, or are they commercial....NM tag fraud,... etc....
Now I get it.

I heard the TS-29 also. Not sure what that could stand for. milf and loumaag are probably right. My guess is that it is the DOT, but I don't get why they are on the Troop F talkgroup, they have their own talkgroups.
9776 DOTD - Dist 05 - Main Monroe HQ
9808 DOTD - Dist 05 - Auxiliary
9840 DOTD - Dist 05 - Weight Enforcement
9872 DOTD - Dist 05 - ?
9904 DOTD - Dist 05 - Communications
9936 DOTD - Dist 05 - Traffic Services
9968 DOTD - Dist 05 - Maintenance
Traffic Services could be what the TS stands for.

As a member of the DPS community they can use LSP dispatch for interop. In MS MDOT enforcement units often talk to MHP dispatch, as well as various County SO's....

You asked a question, you were given an answer, now you want to argue about it. Nobody mentioned a unit number but you. You can believe anything you want to believe, but if you were going to dispute the answer, why did you ask the question to begin with? :?
TS stands for Transportation Safety. They are the enforcement arm of the state DOT and are commissioned (read armed) state troopers. They stop commercial vehicles of all kinds and usually are found on the individual Troop dispatch channels for what ever area they happen to be in. Mostly they drive what appears to be a standard issue state police marked car. They are not assigned to a Troop and move around regionally. They are the troopers usually assigned to escourt duty when needed for oversize/overheight vehicles.
Of course, as I said, this may have changed since October of 2004. :roll:

k, now i understand, sry i thought that everyone was refering to the regular dotd, i was like umm dotd, pulling ppl over? wtf, but now i get it, sry bout the misunderstanding
I had a friend that used to be an officer with a local agency and he said the TS units were "Technical Support" units. If you look at the license plates on state cars, you will notice some are marked "TS-XXX". These plates are on some state police trooper cars, DPS cars, Weights and Standards cars and DOT cars. I have frequently wondered about the way the state LSP agencies are setup. Sometimes (well I guess most of the time) the cars that say "LA State Trooper" have uniformed officers in the fancy blue uniform. But I have seen these cars ( LA State Trooper) with officers wearing a different kind of uniform checking commercial vehicles also. I don't know if these are regular troopers or DOT guys using State Trooper cars. I once asked a Weights and Standards officer about this and he said that it can be kind of confusing with the overlap in the state hierarchy. He said the best way to explain it was "Same Church, Different Pew". Milf, since you seem knowledgeable about the state of Mississippi, what is the difference between the MDOT guys and the Public Service Commission guys? They both have similar cars and I see them checking out trucks on the side of the roads and at scales.

I know this has already been answered but, just to clarify that this is still the case. The TS units are Transportation Safety units. They are regular State Troopers that drive regular State Police Units. They check 18 wheeler compliance etc. They work off the individual Troop talkgroups, whichever Troop they are in at that time. They are however assigned to DOT, and not the Troop level.

o, so kinda like weights and measurements?
radiogirl, check your PM regarding the MDOT/PSC info... Also for extra info... MDOT has decommissioned/destroyed most of the permanent scale sites, and now runs portable scales in thier Interceptors. They run FCVPI's, Chevy Impala's, Ford Explorer/Expeditions. PSC now runs both marked PI's,.. and numerous unmarked units for drug interdiction.
