During the 1925 Legislative session some talk was started regarding the formation of a State Patrol organization in the State of Minnesota. No bill was introduced during this session of the Legislature. During the 1927 Legislative session, however, a bill was presented to create a State Highway Patrol organization. This met with a lot of opposition from certain organizations and the bill did not pass. The 1929 Legislature passed a bill creating a Highway Patrol. The bill placed the organization under the Minnesota Highway Department and authorized the Commissioner of Highways to employ not exceeding 35 men with pay not to exceed $150.00 per month.

1929: In June 1929, Charles M. Babcock, Commissioner of Highways, appointed Earle Brown, Sheriff of Hennepin County, as Chief of the Highway Patrol. On July 1, 1929, Chief Brown #1 appointed 8 officers: Balestra, Andy #7 Moore, Kenneth #9 Chelstrom, Elmer #10 Potvin, Ralph R. #5 Dahl, Glen #3 Ryden, Paul #4 Kuch, George #2 Thomson, Frank #6 On July 28, 1929, the ninth officer, L. A. Auspos #8 was appointed. Goodwill work was started. Other State Police and Patrol organizations were contacted. Ralph Potvin and Glen Dahl went to Pennsylvania State Police School at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, for 90 days. L.A. Auspos and Paul Ryden went to the Massachusetts Highway Patrol School at Boston for the same period of time. Earle Brown readied barn on his farm in Brooklyn Center for training.

Fifty men enrolled including initial nine appointees. Four men who had gone to Pennsylvania and Massachusetts were instructors. Two weeks of hard labor.
