Killdeer accepts officer resignation; opens recruitment and creates SRO hiring board
Summary
The commission accepted Officer Joe Rogers' resignation effective July 31, 2026, voted to open recruitment for the police vacancy and appointed a hiring board for the SRO position including commissioners and school representatives.
The commission accepted a written resignation from Officer Joe Rogers, whose last day was July 31. The resignation letter — read aloud at the meeting — expressed appreciation for service and confirmed the departure date. "Chief, I hereby resign as a full time officer for the Killdeer Police Department... My last day will be July 31," the statement said as read into the record.
Commissioners then voted to open recruitment for the Killdeer Police Department vacancy and set a hiring board for the school resource officer (SRO) position that will include commissioners, a police representative and school administrators. The commission discussed interview timelines and agreed to convene selections and interviews in late August if application timelines allow.
