SAB Transport Officers serve as a visible presence across our extensive rural road network, working directly with commercial carriers, agricultural producers, industry partners, government agencies, and the public to promote safe and responsible road use.

Issue warnings, violation tickets, summonses, and offence notices where appropriate. Prepare investigative reports, legal documentation, court briefs, and provide testimony in court when required.
• Assist with the protection of Special Areas parks, facilities, infrastructure, and public lands as operationally required.
