Let us remind the citizens of Sturgis AGAIN, Forrester/Jordan cut the Sturgis Police Department budget in November 2024 by $125,000. In their "state of the city address" in June 2025, they are calling for the Sturgis Police Budget to be cut by ANOTHER 20%.
Yesterday, Rapid City PD notified the public of this individual, armed and dangerous, posted on FB that he had a gun and was going to shoot police if they tried to stop him.
Today Sturgis officers along with other local law enforcement, did an outstanding job in protecting the public.
Crappy individuals, like Daniels continue to flood into the Blackhills.
We have a real problem in Sturgis. Not only is crime getting worse, Forrester/Jordan refuse to put public safety first. Their "budget cuts" are putting officers and civilians lives in jepardy. Jordan gives lip service to both the public and City employees; as Forrester shuffles money to his pet projects claiming budget cuts.
We support smart budgeting - but public safety isn't optional. When law enforcement is understaffed and underfunded, crime goes up and lives are put at risk.

Rapid City Police Department Post: Local law enforcement is currently looking for Mark Craig Daniels of Greeley, CO. He's wanted in connection with a recent robbery in Colorado and has recently been spotted in the Black Hills, most recently in the Keystone area. Daniels was last seen wearing a black t-shirt, gray pants, and a bright red cast on his arm. He should be considered armed and dangerous, and should not be approached. Anyone with any information about his whereabouts should immediately contact police at 605-394-4131.

If Mayor, CM, Council are so grateful to the law enforcement then why don’t they properly fund the Sturgis PD? The “words of praise” don’t mean crap as they strip them of the necessities to safely protect the public. Sturgis Police Department is currently down 2 officers. Forrester/Jordon refuse to allow Chief Geody to hire for the positions. They want the public to think they are fixing the financial problems of the City of Sturgis, which they caused while sitting on council by voting yes to wasteful spending of the past. Law Enforcement staffing shortages equal officer exodus, burnout, lower morale, and reduced public safety. Don’t be surprised one day we wake up and Chief Geody has moved on, taking his officers with him. How will Forrester/Jordan fix that? Have a study done? Pull stats from national databases for a town of 7,000? Forrester going hire his in-laws? Jordan going to call in the National Guard? 🤬 Allowing those two to run the City is turning out to be a big mistake. We are living in a very unsafe 2.0 🤡🤡🤡

Dang …. Thank you Summerset Police Department!

Early Morning Stop Leads to Felony Drug Arrests

Early this morning, a Summerset Police Officer stopped a vehicle for speeding. During the stop, the officer observed signs of criminal activity. A search of the vehicle led to the seizure of crack co***ne, methamphetamine, hallucinogenic mushrooms, and ma*****na.

A 53-year-old male from Stanchfield, MN, and a 34-year-old male from Los Angeles, CA, were arrested on multiple felony drug charges.

This is another example of proactive policing by our officers to keep dangerous substances off our streets.
