The North Carolina Highway Patrol wants troopers to show they're not spending too much time talking and texting on personal phones while on the job.
The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Friday the patrol's leaders are working on a policy requiring troopers to provide supervisors with copies of their mobile phone bills.
Most troopers aren't provided with state-owned phones, but often carry personal phones while on duty.
The policy is part of ethics reforms coming after a series of embarrassing episodes involving troopers' misconduct.
In one case, a high-ranking trooper was forced to resign over thousands of text messages sent to his secretary, some of which included sexual banter.
