          NTC’s Safety Programs include all commercial vehicle safety and criminal interdiction training, as well as instructor development training for Federal and State commercial motor vehicle (CMV) enforcement trainers. This also includes NTC’s signature program, the FMCSA Academy, where all newly-hired FMCSA safety investigators and border inspectors receive training. Each year, approximately 15,000 State law enforcement partners, approximately 95% of NTC’s learners, participate in Safety Programs training.

These trainings adhere to the Certification Policy for Employees Who Perform Inspections, Investigations and Safety Audits, where applicable.
