Sheriff reports 49 inmates, 24/7 program stability and warns townships about scam
Summary
Sheriff Stanlick reported 49 inmates in county custody (28 county cases, 17 U.S. Marshals), described the 24/7 program’s continued participation (~82), and said a scam sought $29,000 from townships; he urged vigilance and described summer law-enforcement activities.
Sheriff Stanlick told the commission the jail population stood at 49 inmates at the time of the meeting: 28 Brookings County inmates pending prosecution by the state's attorney and 17 in custody for the U.S. Marshals Service under contract. He said the facility had previously spiked into the 50s and 60s but had fallen back to the current level.
The sheriff noted the 24/7 program had roughly 82 participants, calling that a positive sign in keeping people out of the community. He also described a scam targeting townships that asked for payments of $29,000 for county supplies; the sheriff said he contacted township officials and that none had fallen for the scam.
Sheriff Stanlick also described preparations for summer policing and community events (school resource officer events, bike rodeos) and informed commissioners he may be briefly out of the office to help family following storm damage in neighboring Iowa.
