Sober Ride or DWI? The Choice Isn’t Hard.

Embarrassing. Life-changing. Expensive. Getting a DWI can be all of these things. But it can also be life-saving – and not just for you, but for every driver and passenger who travels Minnesota’s roads with the assumption that they will arrive at their destination unharmed.

Right now, over 300 law enforcement agencies are redoubling their efforts to get drunk drivers off our roads and prevent such deaths. Through Sept. 2, they’ll be working extra shifts focusing on DWI enforcement.

Find out what it’s like to get a DWI – and how to avoid it – in our latest blog.

Fire Investigations: More Than Just Ashes

What images come to mind when you think of fire investigations? Perhaps an investigator in sooty turnout gear, sifting through piles of ash in the smoking aftermath of a fire? Finding a piece of evidence that has burned beyond recognition and is now the size of a grain of sand? Using it to figure out what happened in this burnt-out husk of a building that was once someone’s livelihood or home?

You’re right: Fire investigators do all those things. But there’s more to it than that. Learn about all the aspects of fire investigation – and how it benefits all of us – in our blog.
