The Washington State Patrol is committed to keeping the public safe but we need your help. You can help keep our state safe by reporting crimes, illegal activity, or unsafe driving. Whether it’s reporting an intoxicated driver or alerting us of license fraud, you can make a difference every day.
The State of Washington relies on businesses and citizens to voluntarily pay their fair share of taxes to fund state services. Too often residents register their vehicle out of state in order to avoid paying sales or use tax.
Each year, Washington loses an estimated $15 million to $30 million a year from people who evade the state’s imposed motor fuel tax.
Seeing road rage? Aggressive driving is completely preventable. It’s our goal to change reckless driving behaviors and outcomes through enforcement, education, and assistance.
If you see someone driving who appears to be under the influence or alcohol and/or drugs, please call 911.
In 2017, Washington State made it illegal for drivers to use any type of type of hand-held device. Distracted driving is a concern for everyone. If you see it, report it.
