Minnesota State Patrol Operational Planning Case Study

This case study outlines the Minnesota State Patrol's response to civil unrest in the Minneapolis and St. Paul area during May and June of 2020. The document details how the agency deployed all available troopers in response to the unprecedented situation, marking a historic moment for the organization. Following the events, the Minnesota State Patrol evaluated their operational response and identified key areas for improvement, particularly in real-time resource visibility and communication. The introduction of the Intrepid Response platform has been pivotal in enhancing situational awareness and streamlining operations.
