MN DWI Dashboard Released For Public Use

The dashboard — which tracks DWI incidents in every town — was previously only available to Minnesota law enforcement.

ST. PAUL, MN — The Minnesota Department of Public Safety on Tuesday launched a public version of its Driving While Impaired (DWI) dashboard. The dashboard was previously only available to Minnesota law enforcement.

The dashboard allows users to search every town, with results showing age, alcohol concentration, time, and more.

"We’re bringing the data together in a way that we hope will help both law enforcement and the public gain a better understanding of the impact of impaired driving on Minnesota communities," BCA Superintendent Drew Evans said in a news release.
