British Columbia Commercial Vehicle Safety & Enforcement (BCCVSE) is a provincial law enforcement agency that is responsible for the compliance and enforcement of the commercial transport sector, protection of the environment and transportation infrastructure of British Columbia, increasing road safety and protecting the motoring public.〔("Key Facts" ) th.gov.bc.ca. Updated January 9, 2015. Retrieved April 16, 2015.〕 CVSE officers are unarmed peace officers who are empowered by the ''Motor Vehicle Act'' and the ''Inspectors Authorization Regulation'' to enforce 6 provincial acts, 1 federal act and their corresponding regulations. These acts are the ''Motor Vehicle Act'', ''Commercial Transport Act'', ''Transportation Act'', ''Passenger Transportation Act'', ''Transport of Dangerous Goods Act'', ''Motor Fuel Tax Act'' and the ''Federal Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act''.〔("Commercial Vehicle Safety & Enforcement Homepage" ) cvse.ca. Retrieved April 2015,2 2015.〕 CVSE is headquartered out of Victoria, the provincial capital of British Columbia and operates out of 30 stationary scales throughout the province. Areas with deactivated scales are still often patrolled by vehicle. ==History== CVSE was conceived in 1958 as the British Columbia Department of Commercial Transport. Upon conception, the CVSE became responsible for 15 fixed scale locations and 6 portable scale patrol vehicles operated by Weighmasters throughout the province. The purpose of these facilities and patrol vehicles was to protect the transportation network and infrastructure from overweight vehicles. In the 1980s, the agency expanded its mandate to include physical vehicle inspections, cargo securement, document checks and driver checks to ensure that drivers, vehicles and cargo were safe to traverse the roadway. This expanding mandate and broadening focus on public safety led the Weighmasters into becoming Commercial Vehicle Inspectors. In 2005, CVSE gave the authority to their peace officers to perform speed enforcement for heavy commercial vehicles on top of regular traffic enforcement duties - seat belt checks, cellphone checks, distracted driving, etc. - to increase road safety. The CVSE then, in an effort to increase enforcement and compliance, removed the responsibility of writing permits from the officers and inspection stations and created the Provincial Permit Center.〔("Key Facts Unmasked" )(PDF).

Since CVSE's conception, CVSE has changed hands many times in its history. From 1958 until 1998, CVSE was administered through the Motor Vehicle Branch of the Ministry of Transportation. In 1998, CVSE was transferred to the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC). In 2003, CVSE was then transferred to the Ministry of Justice and the Solicitor General. Today, CVSE is a firm part of the BC Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure and has been since its return to the ministry in 2005.〔("Operational Records Classification System" ) (PDF).
