Utah Department of Public Safety (DPS) is changing up their social media presence. In coordination with Commissioner Keith Squires and public affairs office,  DPS has changed their Twitter handle from @Utdpspio to @UtahDPS. This is an effort to brand DPS as a whole department rather than just the public information officer (PIO).

We encourage the public and media outlets to use our new account to engage with us via social media. As a friendly reminder, this account should not be used for emergency purposes.

Here are some of our other official DPS Twitter accounts:

Commissioner Keith Squires: @SquiresDPS

Utah Highway Patrol: @UTHighwayPatrol

UHP Colonel: @UHP_Colonel

Utah Driver License: @Utahdld

Highway Safety Office: @UtahDPS_HSO

Utah Emergency Management: @UtahEmergency
