We are excited to welcome 35 new troopers to the Minnesota State Patrol! Graduates from the 68th and 69th training academies took the oath of office while surrounded by family, friends and current troopers. Congratulations troopers and welcome to the team!
We are happy to announce that Interim Col. Christina Bogojevic has been appointed as the next colonel of the State Patrol. She’s been with our agency for more than 20 years and has served in multiple roles. Please help us say congratulations!
Col. Matt Langer's 30 years of service to the Minnesota State Patrol began with a single ride-along and turned into a decade of serving as colonel. Thank you, Col. Langer, for your commitment and leadership. Read more about his journey in the #DPSBlog: ow.ly/RZwL50R8PCx

We’re trading snow for bay breezes! I’m thrilled to announce I’ve accepted a position as an Executive Producer for ABC 7 in San Francisco. We are truly excited to embrace this new chapter and make the Bay Area our home. Here's to new beginnings. San Francisco, here we come!
I’m starting a new role as a Communications Specialist at Mayo Clinic. I will be responsible for creating thematic and strategic content. I am thrilled to embark on this new career path. #newjob
Remember the trooper I tweeted about this week? Turns out he follows me on Twitter(eek!), and said he appreciated me noticing where he was sitting 😂🫣
@MSPPIO I really love that you post this info. It gives me the best indication of the roads.
Let's talk about these numbers. The roads are covered in black ice & visibility is limited by blowing snow, which means you need to slow down, increase your following distance, buckle up and give yourself extra time to get from point A to point B today. x.com/msppio/status/…
#MSPNumbers Statewide 7:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., 12/24/22: 180 crashes (17 with injury, 0 serious/fatal) & 97 veh spin out/off the road.
Had to wait until I knew the driver was ok. NOBODY stopped to help, thank goodness for the the Troopers. No injuries. EB694 at 35e.
A big THANKS to our Minnesota State Troopers!
Our troopers are going call to call responding to crashes and spinouts. It’s not fun being out in the brutal cold, snow and wind. But they do it because they’re passionate about helping Minnesotans. A big thank you to all of our troopers and other first responders! Stay safe!
Please slow down and drive carefully when it's snowing. And remember to turn your headlights on. It’s the law. It’s also so others can see you, especially in areas of poor visibility. #drivesafe
A snow storm ❄️ does not mean you can "roll" through a stop sign 🛑 or drive through a red light 🚦. Slow down and be responsible.
Reminder, if you’re at @TheIACP conference and are a member of the PIO section or you’d like to join the section, our business meeting is from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. in Room C147/154 (IACP Conference Center). Vote for @PLewbel, @SarahBoydPIO and I! #IACPConf2022 #IACP2022 #PIO
A reminder with fog and limited visibility to turn the headlights and taillights ON! Even with newer vehicles don’t just assume your lights are automatically coming on. Manually turn them on to be sure!
It was a great day at the Fair! Thank you to everyone who came out for State Patrol Day.
We would like to thank everyone who came out to visit with us at Winsted Night Out last night! We were very happy to see the turnout at such a great event! Winsted Summer Festival festivities continue today and tomorrow as well! @MnDPS_MSP @McLeodCoSheriff @mndnr
2 for .22. Our DWI officer assisted State Patrol arresting a driver for DUI in one of our hotel parking lots. The driver's buddy pulled in to watch. Our DWI officer saw him stumbling and arrested him too. 2 cars, 2 friends, 2 trips to jail, and both had alcohol levels of .22.
LPD Officers are teaming up on this effort today to keep our roadways safe!
HEAT patrols will focus on I-35 from Burnsville to Elko and the surrounding areas today.
Solid police work by our Trooper colleagues last night ⬇️
Street Racing Patrols: Troopers made 250 traffic stops in Minneapolis Saturday night. 52 drivers were cited for driving without a valid license. Troopers made 20 arrests, 11 of which were for driving while impaired.
We’re participating in these HEAT patrols today. Today would be an especially good day to obey the law.
HEAT patrols will focus on Highway 212 from Norwood Young America to Chanhassen and the surrounding areas today.
