Public Safety and Quality of Life
Many national surveys, publications and agencies consistently rank North Dakota as one of the best places to live. Our state ranks high in categories ranging from happiness and well-being, to starting a business. We continue working to do all we can to maintain the high quality of life we expect in North Dakota. That means providing infrastructure to meet our needs, supporting our law enforcement officials, and ensuring we have the resources necessary to keep our growing communities safe.
