During the detail, officers found a total of 24 violations, including:
- Five out-of-service violations;
- Three violations involving service breaks;

Officers also found that one vehicle was 9,550 pounds, or 42 percent, over its allowed weight, which can pose a "serious safety concern" to the public and contribute to wear on roadways, police said.
