LDV 36-foot mobile command vehicle, five-year PEST lease purchase

36-foot mobile command center

Yukon's mutual-aid role extends across a metro area of nearly 1.5 million people, and a major incident — a barricaded suspect, a mass-casualty event, a regional disaster — doesn't stop at the city line. In December 2025 the City Council approved a 36-foot mobile command vehicle from LDV Custom Specialty Vehicles of Burlington, Wisconsin, financed through Public Employees Sales Tax (PEST) funds on a five-year lease purchase totaling more than $800,000. The self-contained unit — with a slide-out for expanded interior workspace — serves as a field headquarters, providing communications, dispatch capability, and coordination space so Yukon's own police and fire commanders can run a multi-agency response instead of waiting on one from outside the city.

What it means: Gives Yukon's own commanders the tools to run a multi-agency response, rather than waiting on one from elsewhere
