• Abstract:
  The Minnesota Department of Public Safety (DPS), Driver and Vehicle Services (DVS) ; division is required by law to be the centralized place for maintaining reports on traffic ; crashes that occur in Minnesota. Within ten days of a crash, law enforcement officers are ; required to submit reports on crashes they investigate that meet the reporting threshold ; provided in statute. The current threshold is that there was $1,000 or more in property ; damage, or that anyone was injured or killed, due to the crash. ; As a further part of the definition of when a crash is reportable, it must have occurred on a ; roadway open to the public by right or custom, and there must have been at least one motor ; vehicle in transport involved in the crash. Crashes on private property or not involving a ; motor vehicle in transport are sometimes reported to DPS. Those reports are processed and ; retained, but do not become a part of the computerized traffic crash database from which ; statistics on reportable crashes are compiled.
