• 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.
