The Minnesota Government Data Practices Act gives members of the public, the right to see and/or have copies of public data that the Department of Public Safety (DPS) keeps. The law also controls how we keep government data and what we tell you when you ask to see the data that we have.
You may initially request and receive public information over the phone, in person, through the mail, or via email. If it is not possible to give you the information in the way you ask, we will contact you to decide on another way to give you the information you asked for. If your request is complicated or we do not fully understand your request, we may require that you make your request in writing.
