Minnesota State Patrol: New dashboard builds trust with those we serve
The Minnesota State Patrol launched an online accountability dashboard on our Department of Public Safety (DPS) website this week, giving the public easier access to data, policies and other information about the agency. The dashboard offers insights into the day-to-day activities of the State Patrol and shows Minnesotans how we serve them.

Ready to make a difference? Consider the State Patrol
If you're looking for something new and have a passion for public service, consider applying for the Minnesota State Patrol's Law Enforcement Training Opportunity (LETO) program. Applications are being accepted through March 31.
The LETO program is for people who want to become troopers but don't have any law enforcement experience. It's meant to attract people who are looking for a career change, widening the pool of potential state trooper applicants and bringing in people with a variety of lived experiences.

The haunting truth about smoking-related fires
It is hard to quit smoking. But it is not hard to make sure your cigarette doesn't start a devastating fire. If you smoke, smoke outside, and use a sturdy container filled with sand or water to snuff out your cigarette. Year after year, people die in preventable smoking-related fires. These simple steps can keep them alive.
