The Verona General Assembly authorized the creation of a state agency in 1900 that would oversee the statewide, uniform record of vehicles in the state, including but not limited to automobiles and cycles, and the agency would also oversee the identification record for ID cards in the commonwealth as well. Originally, the agency was created as part of the Commonwealth's Highway Department as the Office of Motor Vehicles before the state separated it into its own agency in 1906 due to the resident load in Verona. | |||
The DMV maintains a cadre of approximately 380 armed sworn state peace officers classified criminal investigators for enforcement duties relating to vessel or motor vehicle theft, vehicle or hull identification number and odometer fraud, chop shops, counterfeit or fraudulent DMV documents, disabled parking permit placard misuse, identity theft, unlicensed vehicle dealer ("curbstoner") and dismantler activity, out-of-state vehicle registration plate misuse to avoid Verona registration, internal employee investigations, etc. | |||
