Motor Vehicle Crime Task Force The Minnesota State Patrol Motor Vehicle Crime Task Force was staffed by two state troopers during 2007, which is slightly less than one halfofits original strength when the unit was fonned in 1998. The two troopers assigned to this unit investigate motor vehicle theft, complaints offraudulent activities by new and used motor vehicle dealers, and foreign state registration violations (failure to register vehicles in Minnesota that are based in this state). Most ofthe cases investigated by this unit originate as complaints from citizens. The second most common type ofcase is one that is referred to this unit by another law enforcement agency because ofthe knowledge and expertise ofthe troopers in this unit in investigating motor vehicle crime. With two investigators to cover the state, this unit can investigate only a fraction ofthe total nwnber ofcases reported to it. Troopers prioritize the cases by the dollar value ofthe loss involved and the seriousness ofthe crimes alleged to have been committed. In 2007 this unit recovered 4 cloned stolen motor vehicles, and identified three other cloned stolen vehicles that were subsequently located by law enforcement agencies in other states.

  • History of the Minnesota State Highway Patrol 1929-Present
    HISTORY OF THE MINNESOTA STATE HIGHWAY PATROL 1929-PRESENT The following Highway Patrol personnel were Patrol supervisors who did not go through the current structure of promotion, and, therefore, were never issued a State Patrol numbered badge: Arnoldy, John Chief 1933-38 Corcoran, Frank T. Assistant Chief (1939-43) 1935-45 Murray, Martin Chief 3/16/38-39 Rowe, Eldon Chief 3/1/39-45 Sieben, Harry A. Safety Director 1/57-4/61 Chabries, Mike Chief 7/93-9/97 Information compiled by Diane Lindstrom 2 During the 1925 Legislative session some talk was started regarding the formation of a State Patrol organization in the State of Minnesota. No bill was introduced during this session of the Legislature. During the 1927 Legislative session, however, a bill was presented to create a State Highway Patrol organization. This met with a lot of opposition from certain organizations and the bill did not pass. The 1929 Legislature passed a bill creating a Highway Patrol. The bill placed the organization under the Minnesota Highway Department and authorized the Commissioner of Highways to employ not exceeding 35 men with pay not to exceed $150.00 per month. 1929 : In June 1929, Charles M. Babcock, Commissioner of Highways, appointed Earle Brown , Sheriff of Hennepin County, as Chief of the Highway Patrol. On July 1, 1929, Chief Brown #1 appointed 8 officers: Balestra, Andy #7 Moore, Kenneth #9 Chelstrom, Elmer #10 Potvin, Ralph R. #5 Dahl, Glen #3 Ryden, Paul #4 Kuch, George #2 Thomson, Frank #6 On July 28, 1929, the ninth officer, L.
