ROSEVILLE — During a Dec. 10 meeting that lasted fewer than 10 minutes, the Roseville City Council approved the purchase of a truck for one of its K-9 officers.
The updated truck is a 2024 Chevrolet Tahoe. The truck has been specially outfitted to be used for a K-9 officer and costs $58,630, according to a letter from Roseville Police Chief Mitch Berlin. The single-source purchase will be made through the state’s purchasing program, MiDEAL. The city will make the purchase using drug forfeiture funds. The vehicle has 2,305 miles on it and is still under warranty.
The city’s old truck has more than 180,000 miles on it and will be reassigned to another department, according to the letter.
At the end of the meeting, all council members praised the city’s holiday celebrations, including the tree lighting ceremony and the Holiday Lights on Wheels parade.
“It was a great event, kids had a good time,” Roseville Mayor Robert Taylor said about the tree lighting. “It was a little chilly. Santa did make it on time. That was a good thing. It was a good day for Roseville.”
