Editing Inspector (section)

=== State police ===
In the [[Wisconsin State Patrol]], and others, inspectors are state troopers assigned to the motor carrier safety inspection unit where they enforce trucking laws and regulations. The [[Michigan State Police]] recognizes inspector as a formal rank. Unlike municipal or county police/sheriffs' inspectors, Michigan State Police inspectors are a grade below captain, instead of at least one grade above. New York State Police staff inspectors are senior commissioned officers holding the rank above major and below lieutenant colonel.

The North Carolina Department of Transportation's Division of Motor Vehicles License and Theft Bureau uses the title of inspector for its sworn state law enforcement agents/investigators. The inspectors of this agency investigate motor vehicle theft, title and odometer frauds, state issued identification and driver's license frauds, as well as regulate and inspect motor vehicle dealerships, repair shops, tow and storage facilities, and emissions and safety inspection centers. The NC DMV License and Theft Bureau is the state's oldest law enforcement agency and was formed in 1921 to combat vehicle theft with the rising sales of Ford's Model T. The agency has kept the title designation of inspector for traditional purposes.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.ncdot.org/dmv/other_services/licensetheft/about.html |title=Ncdot.org |access-date=9 September 2010 |archive-date=20 August 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100820210659/http://www.ncdot.org/dmv/other_services/licensetheft/about.html |url-status=dead }}</ref>
