Sheriff highlights stop-sign problems, warns of scams and announces retirement
Summary
Brookings County Sheriff Marty Stanwick reported persistent stop-sign violations, urged townships to use official barricades for road closures, warned residents about common scams, and said he will retire at the end of his current term after 28 years as sheriff.
Brookings County Sheriff Marty Stanwick told the Weed & Pest Board that stop-sign violations are a continuing problem in the county and described township road-closing practices. He emphasized that townships should use official barricades when closing roads rather than hay bales, a point echoed by townships' needs for formal resolutions.
Stanwick also warned residents about ongoing scams, saying requests for gift cards or instructions not to contact law enforcement are common red flags. He thanked the group for allowing him to serve as sheriff for 28 years and said he is retiring at the end of his current term; the transcript notes three candidates are running for sheriff in 2026.
