Slow down and move over! In the past 15 hours, six of our squads have been hit while helping motorists. Thankfully, no one was seriously hurt. Whether it's a squad, fire truck, plow, tow truck or stalled vehicle, move over. If you can’t move over, slow way down! It’s the law.

It doesn’t matter if you’re cheering “Skol!” or “Go Pack Go!” Be a team player by designating a sober driver or calling a rideshare.
Enjoy the game, but don’t let jail become your end zone.
For the record, it matters a little bit 😃 Skol! Go Vikes!

After more than eight years of service, K-9 Matka is retiring. The explosives sniffing K-9 was assigned to the Capitol where she kept employees and visitors safe. Thank you for all of your work Matka, now go enjoy some extra naps and belly rubs!

The 2024 Minnesota Legislative session kicked off today. At the Capitol, you might spot a trooper, a squad, or Matka, the explosive-detecting Hungarian Vizsla. Our mission: safeguarding officials, employees, and the public. #mnleg

@BoydHuppert covered this heartwarming (literally) story of perseverance. Some of our troopers recently played a crucial role in transporting a heart from the Twin Cities down to Rochester.

Not long after a tow truck operator pulled a vehicle out of a ditch, a passing SUV lost control and struck the van he was standing next to. He was thrown to the ground, but thankfully not seriously hurt. This week is Crash Responder Safety Week. Move over and slow down! #CRSW

If you see a school bus with its red lights flashing and stop arm extended — STOP! It’s not only to keep kids safe, it’s also the law. This week is #NationalSchoolBusSafetyWeek. Watch @KTTCTV's story on how one bus company is using stop arm cameras to keep kids safe.
It's National School Bus Safety Week. Albert Lea Bus Company recently got new stop arm cameras installed on all of its fleet, and it's already feeling the impact. kttc.com/2023/10/18/albert-l…

Safety first! It’s National School Bus Safety Week. One Coon Rapids Middle School student won a national contest to have her bus safety message highlighted. The theme? “Safely Rolling to my Destination.” Both students and drivers need to do their part to keep everyone safe.

The uniform and squad have changed, but Jim Johnson’s passion for being a trooper hasn’t. Today, the oldest living retired MSP trooper turns 94. As a special surprise, two current troopers recently visited and gave him a look inside a current squad. Happy birthday, Jim!

When a vulnerable person goes missing, it’s imperative they are found quickly so they can be brought home safe. Project Lifesaver helps make that happen. Watch to see how our pilots assist other agencies with the program. @OlmstedSheriff @RochesterMNPD @MnAirRescueTeam
