ABOUT THIS COUNCIL SEAT

Seat 10 requirements and responsibilities

Law enforcement, cargo theft, highway safety, or investigations

Qualifications for this seat

A current or former law-enforcement, cargo-theft, highway-safety enforcement or transportation-investigations representative.

Relevant work and experience

  • Evaluating evidence, documenting incidents and recognizing relevant warning signs.
  • Transportation investigations, highway-safety enforcement or cargo-theft prevention.
  • Appropriate reporting, confidentiality and limits on investigative authority.

What this seat contributes

  • Review incident-reporting and evidence-preservation practices within the private program.
  • Help distinguish supported findings from allegations or incomplete information.
  • Recommend appropriate referral and escalation procedures for suspected crime or serious safety concerns.
  • Contribute investigative expertise without exercising law-enforcement powers through the Council.

Responsibilities throughout Council service

  • Prepare for meetings, review assigned standards and supporting evidence, and record informed votes on Council appointments and other reserved matters.
  • Maintain the individual Council pledge, apply published requirements fairly and place the integrity of the Standard above personal or commercial interests.
  • Protect confidential information, provide annual conflict disclosures, disclose changes promptly and recuse when required.
  • Follow the Charter’s ethics and competition safeguards. Committee leadership and additional assignments require separate discussion and authorization where applicable.

Service commitment

Unpaid service, with an initial estimate of 2–4 hours per month on average. Meetings are expected at least quarterly, ordinarily 60–90 minutes. Workload varies; substantial extra assignments are discussed first.

Seat terms are normally three years; founding staggered terms and replacement appointments may be shorter. This member’s recorded term dates appear above. Council service is an individual program advisory and review appointment, not a corporate director or officer appointment.

Requirements before appointment

Applicants provide a résumé and signed individual pledge, complete qualification, background and conflict review, and undergo separate secure identity verification, normally including government ID and facial recognition through FreightValidate/AU10TIX, or a documented lawful equivalent where applicable. Appointment also requires pledge approval and a recorded Council approval vote. Prior Pledge Signatory or Recognized Participant approval is not required to apply.

This section explains the requirements of the seat. It does not publish the member’s private verification documents, disclosures or review records. Seat-specific contributions are examples within the shared Charter duties.
