Dang, is Meade County Sheriff's Office jail big enough to hold all these people? We know for a fact the Sheriff’s department is short handed.

Sturgis Police Department and their SRT team rolled into a hallucination-fueled gunshot call, got everyone safe, and had the suspect in custody before breakfast.
Meanwhile, the City’s contract negotiations with them are frozen in place, as usual.
Funny how the officers who handle real chaos at 5 a.m. are the ones being told they don’t deserve pay comparable to other cities and their budget keeps getting hacked.
Yet, the council accepts paying the City Admin Jordan $180K for really bad spreadsheets.
Please someone, make it make sense!
This is exactly why our officers deserve real pay, because Public Safety should outrank keeping a subpar City Administrator on the payroll. If we’re spending big, it should be on the people who actually protect us.
Thank you AGAIN, Sturgis PD, for doing the hard work that actually keeps this town safe.

Only in Sturgis can you shovel your sidewalk, watch it get buried again, and then feel like the City’s already prepping your citation.

Our "Friendly" reminder: the ordinance applies to snow that falls, not snow that comes back for an encore after City equipment or winter chaos do their thing. And thanks to Ring cams, Nest cams, and driveway cameras, we finally have the evidence to prove it.

If the City sends you a citation?
Save the footage. Prove you spent time with your shovel.
Roll the tape. Let your camera testify.
Or just post it on YouTube and let the ad revenue pay the fine, seems to be working for others ....

Season 1 of “Who Buried It Better?” has officially begun ... and between the sidewalks and the stack of unresolved financial issues at City Hall, it’s honestly hard to tell which one is deeper.😁

REMINDER!!! Sturgis City Ordinance says residents are required to remove snow and ice to the full width of the sidewalk within 15 hours after the snowfall or ice formation ends. Any questions, call Sturgis Code Enforcement Officer Donavan Coonrod at 605-347-5070.
