These steps aim to improve safety and make standards clearer for providers and drivers.
Expanded state security and enforcement

The department also helps law enforcement fight drug trafficking. It carries out duties related to restricted foreign entities under state law. These actions aim to improve safety and state security.
Stronger emergency planning and 911
Beginning May 6, 2026, the Department of Public Safety carries out federal right‑to‑know rules for hazardous chemicals and emergency planning. The department also works with the Division of Technology Services on dispatch and telecom contracts and funding to support 911 and emergency communications. The department implements the interstate mutual‑aid compact so help can flow across state lines during big emergencies. These steps aim to improve hazard information, keep 911 reliable, and speed disaster response.
