Tim Fox

Attorney General

Fellow Montanans,

ATTORNEY GENERAL STATE OF MONTANA

Department of Justice

Joseph P. Mazurek Justice Bldg.

215 North Sanders P.O. Box 201401

Helena, MT 59620-1401

As I write this, the latest 2014 Gallup-Healthways Well-Being survey results reveal that Montana

rounds out the top five happiest states in America. In fact, Montanans who were polled indicated

so much pride in where they live, coupled with feelings of safety, that we ranked second in the

national survey's communities category.

While it 's difficult to point to any one entity or element as the source of our collective

satisfaction, I can confidently say that the men and women of the Montana Highway Patrol are

some of our most visible law enforcement officers, interacting with thousands of Montanans and

visitors, logging over six million miles on our roadways last year alone. Our Troopers are there

in the remotest corners. offering assistance to the traveling public and enforcing the law when

drunk drivers or drug runners threaten the safety of our neighbors.

And while we value our traditions, we' re also keeping up with new ways of addressing the

complexities of today's criminal activities. Last summer, MHP acquired its first K-9 narcotic

units, deploying them strategically throughout the state. Criminal interdiction efforts with the

K-9 units in 2014 netted nine pounds of meth and 27 pounds of marijuana.

MHP also worked hard last year to outreach to the public about the importance of safe driving

behaviors. In 2014, Montanans experienced a 30% decrease in speeding-related fatalities , and

deaths attributed to not wearing a seat belt dropped by nearly 16%. Overall, fatalities on our

roads fell by approximately 15% last year.

Crashes where alcohol played a role rose by about 10% from 2013 to 2014; however, the number

of Montana's alcohol-related fatalities in 2014 was down compared to recent years. This is

partially due to the success of the 2417 Sobriety Program, which saves lives by requiring

participants to take daily breath alcohol tests. Last year, over 183 ,000 tests were conducted in

24 I 7 counties at no cost to our taxpayers. The 2417 Sobriety Program keeps participants sober,

accountable, and out of jail; we look forward to its continuing expansion in the years ahead.

As a life-long Montanan, I, too, am proud to call this place home, and even more proud of the

work that Highway Patrol Colonel Tom Butler and his team do to keep our families safe in communities across Big Sky Country.

OUR MISSION

The mission of your Montana

Highway Patrol is to focus on

safeguarding the lives,

property, and constitutional

rights of people traveling

the ways of our state.

Service is what the MHP is about. Service is "to be of assistance to." This can take the form of:

Service to the citizens of Montana, Service to those passing through our state, Service to other

agencies, and Service to each other. Many times, this service is performed through the enforcement of

traffic and criminal codes. For example, by removing a DUI suspect from our highways, we have

potentially saved an innocent person from death or injury. The same goes for enforcement of speed

and safety belt violations. Changing human behavior through education and enforcement of the

standards set by society serves all.

Integrity means having the personal ability to be honorable and upright and exercising that ability in

every situation. Basically, we are to b e honest in our dealings with each other, our agency, the

citizens that we serve, and ourselves. This value is the key to everything else we do. It is the

behavioral foundation of the individual employee, who in turn is the foundation of the agency.

Without integrity on an individual or collective level, we are nothing.

Respect is an unbiased consideration and regard for rights, values, beliefs and property: It is much

more than just being polite; it is a deeper commitment to the beliefs stated in the C onstitution of

the United States, which is something those of us in uniform took an oath to uphold. Respect can

and must be shown to all those we contact, even those who may not respect us or our authority to

enforce society's laws.

These core values will be the foundation on which the vision is built. The vision in turn will decide

the direction that the agency will take in the future. The Colonel has made it clear that it is his

desire that the MHP become a leader in the world of law enforcement in the northwestern United

States. Something this bold will take the input and efforts of all of us.

SAFETY ENFORCEMENT TRAFFIC

Sgt Derek Brown

Trooper Dell Aman

Trooper Jonathan Scheer

In 2013 the name for the STET team of the Montana Highway Patrol was changed to Safety

Enforcement Traffic Team (SETT). Funded by the Department of Transportation, Highway

Traffic Safety Division, this team of troops consists of 5 full-time troopers and 1 sergeant. The

SETT team provides high visibility enforcement to selected areas and regions of the state using

strategically deployed, aggressive, inter-agency enforcement patrols. The team bolsters high

visibility enforcement efforts to educate the public about a variety of behaviors that contribute to

traffic crashes, including the dangers of speeding, impaired driving, aggressive driving,

distracted/inattentive driving, and the lack of safety belt usage. SETT enforcement has had a

very positive effect on the areas patrolled, the 4,017 hours of concentrated enforcement during

fiscal year 2014 yielded:
