My Fellow Montanans:

In 2019, we saw the Highway Patrol at its best, and the Highway Patrol saw just how deeply we care for the guardians of our roads and communities.

On a cold night in March, a suspect for whom he was searching shot Trooper Wade Palmer in the head,

possible medical care, and his own grit, Wade survived the shooting and is with us today.

In the year that followed, Wade endured surgeries, treatments, and countless rounds of therapy that continue to this day. Through it all, he has kept his sense of humor and determination to move forward. He refused to give up in the face of unspeakable hardship and long odds.

Wade’s story is a lesson in courage and perseverance for all Montanans. He embodies the highest virtues we look for and cultivate in our Highway Patrol troopers.

never forget seeing two troopers in full dress uniform standing watch outside of his hospital room in Salt Lake City.

outpouring of support from Montanans. Gestures of kindness and gratitude abounded as people made an

It made me proud to be a Montanan.

presence in our growing communities, ramping up drug interdiction, and more.

Sincerely,

TIM FOX PHONE: 406.444.3780 ATTORNEY GENERAL FAX: 406.444.4169

Honorable Tim Fox Montana Department of Justice 215 Sanders Street Helena, Montana 59620

Dear Attorney General Fox,

I respectfully submit to you and the citizens of Montana, the 2019 Montana Highway Patrol Annual Report. This report contains information and statistics concerning Montana Highway Patrol activities and Montana crashes for the 2019 calendar year.

Every time I start to write this letter, it’s difficult not to try to organize my thoughts in terms of the data for that particular year- number of fatal crashes, did they go up or down? number of DUI’s, did they go up or down? when the reality is, it’s much more complex and nuanced than that. In 2019, for example, the Montana Highway Patrol recorded 184 fatalities on our roadways. This number is very close to 2018’s where 182 fatalities were reported. Despite the number remaining virtually the same, it still means that 184 people did not make it home to their families, and it’s still 184 people more than the number that we would like to see-zero. So, while it’s important to examine the data trends in the context of previous years’ data, we should also remind ourselves that we still have work to do in driving down the number of fatal crashes and DUI’s in Montana.

One of the ways the Patrol has committed to addressing dangerous driving in Montana, is using strategic enforcement teams. The Strategic Enforcement Traffic Team (SETT) focuses on high visibility, targeted enforcement geared towards curbing speeding, driving without a seatbelt, and impaired driving. Our Criminal Interdiction Team is tasked with finding and preventing dangerous drugs from reaching our streets, saving lives and curtailing drug-impaired driving in the process. Although our strategic enforcement teams and their stats usually generate a fair amount of interest every year in the annual report, I would encourage everyone to look just as closely at each district and notice the incredible work that all of our troopers do across the state. It truly is a team effort and each trooper is in the unique position of being able to save lives and change lives for the better, no matter where he or she is stationed.

Page 10: Montana Highway Patrol 2019 Annual Report...This report contains information and statistics concerning Montana Highway Patrol activities and Montana crashes for the 2019 calendar year.

As I close this letter, it occurred to me that this is the last Annual Report letter that I will write to you during your tenure as Attorney General. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for eight years of amazing support to our agency. As I always say, “No one is more supportive of MHP than General Fox. He even not-so-secretly wants to be a Trooper!” The agency is much better off thanks to your incredible leadership and we have reaped the benefits of your work on the criminal interdiction teams, K-9 program, drones for crash investigation, the reorganization of Montana’s Public Safety Radio Project, and improved data collection for 24-7 Sobriety Program. Through these programs and much more, your legacy will live on.

Respectfully,

Colonel Tom Butler

STRATEGIC ENFORCEMENT TRAFFIC TEAM (SETT)

Sgt. Andrew Novak

Trooper Jason Fredenberg Trooper Stephen Gaston Trooper Blaine Heavner Trooper Griffin Sutherland

Funded by the Department of Transportation, Highway Traffic Safety Division, this team of troops consists of 4 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 hours of concentrated enforcement during fiscal year 2019 yielded:
