Your Local Fire Department Needs Your Help We’re lucky to have a robust, professional fire service here in Minnesota. It means that when there’s a fire, we can take for granted that our local fire department will show up and do its best to prevent loss of life and property. But the number of firefighters is dwindling. Firefighters are retiring or otherwise leaving the fire service, and there aren’t enough people stepping up to take their places. In fact, firefighter recruitment and retention is one of the biggest issues facing Minnesota fire departments. Learn more about the problem – and how you can be part of the solution – in our latest blog . Get Lots of Sleep – But Not Behind the Wheel Many of us would never get behind the wheel after drinking, but we’re not as hesitant about getting behind the wheel after being awake for too long or not getting enough sleep. It turns out that can be just as dangerous as driving while impaired, but it’s harder to detect. That’s why the HumanFIRST lab at the University of Minnesota designed a study to find an objective test (or set of tests) that law enforcement officers can quickly and easily administer by the side of the road to identify fatigue. Learn more about the study and its initial results in our blog . ​Time for a Career Change? Consider the State Patrol. "I need to get out of here." If you’ve said that to yourself while looking around your workplace, it may be time for a change. You could be patrolling our state roads and keeping Minnesotans safe. If that sounds good, consider applying for the Minnesota State Patrol’s Law Enforcement Training Opportunity (LETO) Program. The state patrol is seeking college educated women and men. No law enforcement experience required. Ready to apply? Applications are being accepted through Feb. 14. Online Service Available: 2019 Registration Tax Lookup Minnesotans can look up the registration tax they paid in 2019 online as they begin to file their taxes. The tool is available online. You will need your driver’s license number, license plate number or vehicle identification number (VIN). The IRS will determine whether certain tax payments made in 2019 will be deductible on 2019 federal income tax returns. For more information, contact a tax professional or the IRS.
