ADOT alerts trucking companies to possible scam by individual impersonating police officer

Call ADOT’s Enforcement and Compliance Division if you observe suspicious behavior

PHOENIX – Trucking companies should be on alert for an individual impersonating an Arizona Department of Transportation Enforcement and Compliance Division officer.

If a trucking company has suspicions, the owner or manager can call the ADOT Enforcement and Compliance Division dispatch center at 602.712.8396.
