Dear Fellow Montanans:
The Department of Justice has numerous responsibilities when it comes to keeping Montanans safe and protecting their rights. As Attorney General, leading the Highway Patrol is one of my most important jobs, as our troopers continue the proud tradition and work to embody the core values of “Service, Integrity, and Respect.”
The men and women of the Patrol are the most visible ambassadors of our department as they drive more than six million miles each year, interacting with thousands of Montanans and visitors to our great state along the way.
In the Attorney General’s Office, we are working to ensure the Highway Patrol has the resources, tools, and staffing it needs to carry out our critical public safety mission. The upcoming move of the headquarters this summer from a cramped office in Helena that was outgrown years ago is one example of these efforts. The new headquarters will make use of an existing state facility that had been sitting empty and draining taxpayer resources.
The new multi-acre campus will be a headquarters befitting Montana’s largest law enforcement agency. It provides adequate office space for employees and storage for records, uniforms, and equipment that is not possible in Helena. The proximity to 1-90 will also improve statewide response times and enhance public safety.
Unfortunately, crime knows no boundaries and criminals grow bolder every day. Today’s troopers also face additional scrutiny – and often hostility – toward law enforcement in a way that previous generations have not. But when Montanans see their green uniform, they know the Highway Patrol has their back. The troopers know that Montanans have their back as well – because this is a state that values law enforcement.
Sincerely,
AUSTIN KNUDSEN Attorney General

Honorable Austin Knudsen Montana Department of Justice 215 Sanders Street Helena, Montana 59620
Dear Attorney General Knudsen,
I respectfully submit to you and the citizens of Montana, the 2020 Montana Highway Patrol Annual Report. 2020 was a strange year for all of us. Despite the number of crashes that we responded to decreasing significantly, with the pandemic keeping many at home, the number of fatal crashes in the state increased - 190 instead of the previous year’s 166 fatal crashes. This is a clear indication that more work remains in addressing impaired driving and excessive speed on our roadways.
To help address some of these issues, the Patrol’s Strategic Enforcement Traffic Team (SETT) conducts targeted patrols in problem areas. Although COVID-19 prohibited more proactive campaigns in 2020, the SETT Team remained diligent in pursuing speed, suspended driver’s licenses, uninsured motorists, and seatbelt infractions in the deployments they were able to execute. We plan on hitting it hard in 2021 with highly visible, saturation deployments aimed at cracking down on unsafe driving behaviors.
Unfortunately, the problematic activity on our roadways is not limited to impaired driving and speed. Members of the criminal element engaging in illegal activity such as drug and human trafficking, use our roadways as a channel for carrying out their nefarious deeds. In 2020, our Criminal Interdiction Team seized double the number of illegal weapons from 2019. The team also took over 4,000 tabs of the highly potent and dangerous synthetic opioid, fentanyl, off the streets and out of our communities. Seizures were also up in methamphetamine, heroin, crack cocaine, marijuana, marijuana products, and hallucinogens. Felony arrests increased by approximately 45%. We hope that 2021 brings abundant opportunities to continue to fight back against the scourge of dangerous drugs blighting our state and that the work of our troopers will send a clear message- criminals won’t be tolerated in Montana.
Ultimately, none of these undertakings will be quick fixes. Change happens through consistent effort over time. And our troopers at the Montana Highway Patrol recognize that they must be vigilant in their work- every shift, every contact. If maintaining a highly visible presence on Montana’s highways slows down even one motorist or deters just one person from deciding to drive impaired, then we will have succeeded in our mission. We look forward to serving Montana motorists in 2021 and beyond and providing them with the professionalism and dedication that they have come to expect from their state troopers.
Respectfully,
Colonel Steve Lavin

8 STRATEGIC ENFORCEMENT TRAFFIC TEAM (SETT)
Sgt. Andrew Novak Trooper Jason Fredenberg Trooper Stephen Gaston Trooper Blaine Heavner Trooper Griffin Sutherland Trooper Alicia Bragg
Funded by the Department of Transportation, Highway Traffic Safety Division, this team of troops consists of 4 full-time troopers and 1 sergeant. The SETT team provides high visibility enforcement to selected areas and regions of the state using strategically deployed, aggressive, inter-agency enforcement patrols. The team bolsters high visibility enforcement efforts to educate the public about a variety of behaviors that contribute to traffic crashes, including the dangers of speeding, impaired driving, aggressive driving, distracted/inattentive driving, and the lack of safety belt usage. SETT enforcement has had a very positive effect on the areas patrolled, the hours of concentrated enforcement during fiscal year 2020 yielded:

10 MHP DRUG INTERDICTION ACTIVITIES In 2012, the Montana Highway Patrol purchased their first K-9 for assistance in foot pursuits and drug interdiction activities. Since then the MHP has acquired a total of 9 K-9’s stationed at various locations throughout Montana. These dogs are used in drug interdiction activities not only by the Highway Patrol but also to assist other law enforcement agencies throughout the state. With the help of these K-9’s and through the dedicated work of all troopers the following statistics and information has been generated:
