One
of the main roles of state government is to protect its citizens,
and we at the Department of Public Safety take that charge very
seriously.
Every division within DPS is committed to protecting citizens and
communities through activities that promote and support prevention,
preparedness, response, recovery, education and enforcement.
Our measurable goals are easy to quantify, but challenging to
achieve. We want to provide the best customer service to the people
of Minnesota from reducing death on the highway to minimizing the
time it takes an applicant to get a driver's license.
For us it's simple, it's all about safety.

Commissioner
