Two of our Public Safety Ambassadors (PSAs) were recently spotted helping a stranded motorist get back on the road by changing a flat tire.
If you're not familiar with our PSA unit, Public Safety Ambassadors are civilian members of the Duluth Police Department who assist with a variety of non-emergency calls for service, including stranded motorists, lost property reports, fraud reports, vacation house checks, community outreach events, and more.
By handling these types of calls, our PSAs help keep sworn officers available for higher-priority emergencies while still providing exceptional service to our community.
This is just one example of the many ways they make a difference every day.
๐ Great work by our Public Safety Ambassadors! ๐

UPDATE (5:34 PM): The involved vehicle has been removed and all travel lanes on Buford Hwy have reopened.
Motorists may still experience a minor delay in the area as crews wait for a dump truck to remove mulch that spilled onto the roadway during the crash.
Thank you for your patience and drive safely.
๐จ TRAFFIC ALERT ๐จ
Officers are on scene of a single-vehicle rollover crash involving a trailer at Buford Hwy & Rogers Bridge Rd. Please use caution and expect delays as crews work to clear the scene and reopen the roadway.
