Capitol Security Reports

The Committee on Capitol Complex Security released its Final Report in early April. The committee recommended that legislative leaders should take a more comprehensive and better coordinated approach to the security of a building that needs to be both safe and open to the state’s citizens.

The security of Minnesota’s Capitol has been a topic of discussion for decades. Here’s a timeline of many of the previous efforts:

2009 A recent assessment, Capitol Complex Security, was produced by the Office of the Legislative Auditor two years ago. An update was released in 2011.

2001 An ongoing group, the Capitol Complex Security Oversight Committee, was mandated by Laws of Minnesota 2000, Chapter 488. The 2001 Report of the Capitol Complex Security Oversight Committee, from the Office of the Chief, Minnesota State Patrol, Minnesota Department of Public Safety, was the only one received by the Library.

2000 As a result of Laws of Minnesota 1999, Chapter 250, the Department of Administration published Security Improvements Capitol Complex in January 2000. “This report outlines the types of security systems in use on the Capitol Complex, the history of how security system improvements have been undertaken, funding sources committed to the upgrade, and Plant Management's current status on security system upgrades."

2000 Another 1999 law required a security report. Laws of Minnesota 1999, Chapter 216, resulted in Capitol Complex Security Study: Executive Summary, published January 14, 2000. It was prepared for the Legislature by Superintendent Nicholas V. O'Hara, Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.

1990 A joint effort by the Department of Administration and the Department of Public Safety resulted in the Report of the Interagency Security Task Force, published in April 1990. Governor Rudy Perpich responded to increasing crime in the areas surrounding state buildings by creating the interagency task force to address security issues in the Capitol Complex and at the state's major leased facilities.

1982 Laws of Minnesota 1981, Chapter 357, required, "The Commissioner shall submit to the legislature by January 1, 1982, a plan for coordinating capitol and mansion security activities." The Capitol Security Report was produced by the Minnesota Department of Public Safety.

1973 A Report on Security in the Capitol Complex and at the Governor's Residence, was issued in February 1973 by the Ad Hoc Security Committee, formed and appointed by the Commissioner of Administration, Richard L. Brubacher.
