Former Camden police officer, public-safety professional and Freemason whose record of service spans Grand Lodge leadership, Scottish Rite, Shrine, Masonic charity and Masonic youth organizations.
Don Tuttle’s professional and fraternal lives share a common theme: accepting responsibility when others depend on you.
His public-service career includes service as a police officer in the City of Camden, New Jersey, followed by extensive work in public-safety communications and technology. Today, Tactical Public Safety publicly lists Don as its Director of Specialized Projects, placing him in a role focused on mission-critical systems used by police, fire, EMS and emergency-communications agencies.
In Freemasonry, R.W. Donald R. Tuttle was raised a Master Mason in Mantua Lodge #95 in 2005, served as Master of the Lodge in 2011 and later spent eight years as a Lodge Trustee. His Grand Lodge service has included Grand Organist, Grand Chaplain and, since 2019, Grand Musician. He has also been selected to serve as Secretary to the Grand Master for the 2026–27 year.
That combination—law enforcement, public-safety systems, charitable stewardship and Masonic leadership—reflects a career spent working with organizations where trust, accountability and follow-through matter.
Don’s career has remained connected to public safety: first through direct law-enforcement service and later through communications, systems administration, technology and specialized projects.
Don served as a police officer in Camden, New Jersey. A May 22, 1996 Congressional Record entry concerning the Camden City Police Awards Banquet specifically lists Officer Donald Tuttle among recipients under the heading “Heroism.”
Don’s publicly available professional profile describes his field as public-safety systems administration and management, continuing his connection to law enforcement and emergency services.
Tactical Public Safety currently lists Don in this leadership role. The company provides radio, communications, system engineering, installation and related services to public-safety and homeland-security organizations.
A Brigantine Police Department representative publicly credited Donald Tuttle and the Tactical Public Safety installation team for their work during a 9-1-1 dispatch-console upgrade supporting police, fire and EMS communications.
The May 22, 1996 Congressional Record includes remarks by U.S. Representative Robert E. Andrews recognizing the City of Camden Police Awards Banquet and those honored for service.
Within the published list of award recipients, Officer Donald Tuttle appears in the “Heroism” section. For a leadership site, this is an unusually strong piece of primary-source documentation: it shows that Don’s public-service record was formally recognized decades before his later Masonic and charitable leadership.
