Griggs County sheriff announces golf fundraiser and plans for fraud-prevention outreach
Summary
Sheriff McCallis reported a planned fundraising golf tournament to support community outreach programs and said the department will expand seminars on online fraud and other topics for residents.
Sheriff McCallis told commissioners the Sheriff’s Office is organizing a golf tournament fundraiser to support community outreach programs, including prevention and educational efforts for children and the elderly. Proceeds will be held in a separate fund with the treasurer and used for outreach activities such as crime-prevention seminars and youth programs.
The sheriff said the office will use funds to support community events, buy supplies currently purchased out of officers’ pockets, and expand seminars on online fraud. McCallis said the department has seen an increase in online fraud complaints and intends to offer education on avoiding scams.
The sheriff also noted an upcoming vehicle delivery and outfitting in June and asked whether the county could allow staff to attend the fundraiser; commissioners preferred keeping courthouse services open but said office-by-office staffing and overtime could support participation. The sheriff said up to 20 teens have registered for a program tied to the event.
No formal action was required or taken on the fundraiser during the meeting; commissioners asked staff to consider staffing and overtime options so employees can participate while maintaining courthouse services to the public.
