What's New?

Extra DWI Patrols Now on Minnesota Roads

Drink. Drive. Go to Jail. Plan ahead for a sober ride. The holidays are here. That means family gatherings, gifts and games, tables full of holiday foods, and maybe a little stress mixed in with the good times. If alcohol is involved, planning for a safe ride will ensure a fun holiday season to remember and not a lifetime of heartache because of a fatal crash.

Troopers, deputies and police officers will be participating in a statewide campaign Nov. 24 through New Year's Eve. They will be looking for drivers who appear impaired, whether by alcohol or other substances. Alcohol, cold medicine, prescription medication or any other drug can contribute to impairment.

Drive sober, drive smart.

You Can Help Protect Schools and Places of Worship with the BCA Tip App

Send tips to the Minnesota BCA and help solve a crime. Minnesotans can provide information about threats of violence at Minnesota schools or places of worship using the See It, Say It, Send It tip app.

The BCA triages tips, notifies local law enforcement and assists as needed with a response to criminal activity. The BCA will also work with facility leadership and other entities as appropriate to determine a response to tips that aren't about criminal activity. Always call or text 911 first when reporting an emergency.
