Mitchell Police Department

If anyone is missing a steering wheel from their vehicle, we encourage you to report it to law enforcement…We might have it. 👀

Our sincere condolences to the SD DCI as well as Special Agent Kjerstad’s family.

Last night at the Kernel Bowl, first responders were honored with the opportunity to conduct the coin flip before the Douglas High School vs. Mitchell High School football game.

Representing our local first responder agencies were:

🚒 Mitchell Fire Department Chief Shannon Sandoval
🚔 Mitchell Police Department Chief Dean Knippling
⭐ Davison County Sheriff Steve Harr
🚓 South Dakota Highway Patrol Trooper Blake Richters

We appreciate the opportunity to recognize the men and women who serve our community and are proud to stand alongside our fellow first responders. 🇺🇸

September 11, 2001 — a day that changed our nation forever.

Today, we remember the lives lost, honor the heroes who answered the call, and recognize the courage and sacrifice shown in the face of unimaginable tragedy.

We Remember. We Honor. We Never Forget.

🐾 Happy National Dog Day! 🐾

Today, we’re celebrating one of our own — Police Service Dog Jacky!

Jacky is a valued member of the Mitchell Police Department, working alongside her handler and helping keep our community safe. Her dedication, energy, and loyalty make her an important part of our department and a great partner on the streets.

Welcome our newest Patrol Officer, Hayden Medicine Horn!

Officer Medicine Horn joins us after serving with the Yankton Sioux Tribal Police and the U.S. Air Force. A South Dakota local, he brings valuable experience and a strong commitment to serving his community.

We’re excited to have him join the team. Welcome aboard, Hayden! 👮‍♂️🇺🇸

Following our last post about E‑Device requirements, we were notified of a small detail that needed correcting. The graphic below has been updated with the accurate information. We’re still seeing a lot of these devices being used outside the outlined requirements.

We would like to extend a huge thank you to the sponsors of last nights National Night Out event! It wouldn’t be possible without the strong support of our local businesses.
