Brookshire Grocery Company hosted the Texas Department of Public Safety’s Region 1 Trooper Challenge at the company’s distribution center in Tyler last week.

More than 45 troopers and other law enforcement officials representing 42 counties in northeast Texas competed in the event, which includes evaluations on commercial vehicle inspections and written exams. Brookshire Grocery Co. provided the testing equipment and served lunch to the law enforcement officials.

“We are proud to have hosted the trooper challenge for many years,” Brent Nelson, Director – Transportation for Brookshire Grocery Co. said. “It’s a great way for us to show our support for law enforcement and assist them in their efforts to enforce motor vehicle safety regulations.”

“Brookshire Grocery Co. has played an integral role in conducting a successful trooper challenge every year,”  Lieutenant Wade Kimble with Texas Highway Patrol. “We really appreciate them for supporting us over the years and maintaining a high standard of safety within their transportation fleet.”
