Overweight and Over sized Vehicles

8th June 2016

To Whom It May Concern:

Starting today June 8, 2016, the Rockdale Police Department will be changing the way we process our overweight/oversize permits. We will be using an online-based permitting system via the website, https://www.oxcartpermits.com. The older system of processing permits (via fax, telephone, or email) has now been discontinued. Any company wanting to apply for an overweight/oversize permit in Rockdale will have to use the Oxcart permitting software. Registration is easy and can be completed on the Oxcart website under the Trucking login/sign up link https://oxcartpermits.com/user/trucking. You also can access a link to Oxcart via https://rockdalepolice.com. Once registered, companies will then be able to reap the benefits of the following via Oxcart:

Access a simple to use online interface for requesting local permits
Paperless permits downloadable to your computer or any mobile device
Eliminate tedious paper processes, faxing and phone calls
Speed the process of permit approvals
Features an online, interactive mapping solution to assist in route selection
Online permit approvals pushed to your email inbox
Provide an easy, online payment system (Credit Card Only – see below)

Processing and Credit Card Fees In addition to the Rockdale permitting fees, Oxcart will require a nominal processing fee for each permit. Oxcart will also assess a credit card fee for each permit processed. Those charges are as follows:

Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express and Diner’s Club – 9% of total permitting fee (permit & processing fee combined)
Plus a $.30 transaction fee for ALL permits

Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions and/or comments. Thank you, Robert J Dykstra Jr Chief of Police – Rockdale Police Department

Police Vehicle

27th May 2016

We at the Rockdale Police Department are very grateful for the generous donation of a fully up fitted 2016 Honda Pioneer.

Donations by various local businesses made to the Rockdale Police Department over the last 6 years purchased the Honda and a donation by D'arcy Motors made the police conversion and up fitting possible. The up fitting process went perfectly and we are extremely happy with the extensive tedious job that the staff at PublicSafetyDirect did. There were many graphics revisions and complicated installation and wiring tasks that came together perfectly.

We're happy that there was no cost to taxpayers due to donations and are excited to get even better connected with our residents and school district children! 13072751_1352946734846372_1333081251046387544_o
