Duluth Police rolls out new community engagement bus

By Mattie Hjelseth
Today is National Night Out and it’s perfect timing for the Duluth Police Department to ‘roll’ out a new community engagement tool, a bus. The bus was donated to the DPD by the Duluth Transit Authority and was provided through the JAG Grant, which focuses on community policing initiatives.

“Since it’s a community engagement bus, we opened up naming it to the community,” said Chief Mike Tusken. “There were more than 350 people who weighed in on their favorite name. CODE4 received the majority of the public’s vote, so that’s the name of the bus.”
