In 2013, Todd Miller, the Director of Mankato’s Public Safety Department, faced scrutiny when the department was named in a lawsuit alleging unauthorized access to a news anchor’s driver’s license information. The lawsuit claimed that public employees, including those from Mankato, accessed the anchor’s data without legitimate reasons. Miller stated that employees receive training on proper database use and that no violations had occurred under his leadership since 2010.
