FALCON HEIGHTS, Minn. — The Minnesota Department of Public Safety was named among the dozen winners of the Minnesota State Fair's annual "best of" award winners, alongside such other fair staples as the Crazy Mouse roller coaster, the Mighty Midway's Milk Can Game and the foodie staple The Blue Barn.

The state's public safety department was lauded for sharing "information about driver and vehicle services, traffic safety, hiring and the many services and resources provided by this state agency." The department can be found in the Education Building at the fair.

The Department of Public Safety has had a long-standing presence at the fair. In 2022, they helped state officials distribute 10,000 free gun locks at the fair as part of a "Make Minnesota Safe & Secure" initiative. Gov. Tim Walz said the aim was to reduce deaths by suicide, thefts, and crimes committed with guns.
