MN State Patrol LRAD & Arrest Buses, Minneapolis Convention Center

Arrest buses behind Minneapolis Convention Center.

Minnesota State Patrol vehicles, including an LRAD (Long Range Acoustic Device) unit and buses, are parked at the Minneapolis Convention Center. The Convention Center served as a temporary operational base for the Minneapolis Police Third Precinct after its original building was burned in May 2020, following the murder of George Floyd. These specialized vehicles are typically deployed for crowd management and potential arrests during large public protests. Their presence reflects the heightened security posture in downtown Minneapolis during periods of civil unrest.
