‘MSP Mobile’ is available for download in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store by searching for “Michigan State Police.”
“It’s our goal to make connecting with the MSP as easy as possible,” said Col. Joe Gasper, director of the MSP. “This new app puts important public safety information literally in your hand and allows each user to customize their experience and interaction.”
With 30 MSP posts statewide, MSP Mobile was designed to allow users to follow the post that serves their community or any post of their choosing. Users can opt to receive push notifications that will instantly alert them to traffic crashes, arrests, criminal investigations, community events and other education and prevention information.

• Profiles of Michigan’s most wanted fugitives

• Help solve cold cases
• Contact information and driving directions for MSP posts and districts statewide in a format that is GPS-enabled and sortable by city/address
