As part of the Minnehaha County Police Reserve program, volunteers serve part-time in law enforcement, performing duties similar to full-time officers while providing vital support to our community.

We are proud to recognize our very own Reserve Officer Glanzer for his courageous actions during a life-and-death situation. Officer Glanzer, along with Deputy Kerzman and civilian Arlen Hansen, was honored for rescuing a gentleman from a burning building.

We are extremely proud to have Officer Glanzer as part of our reserve program and commend his dedication, bravery, and commitment to public service.

The Police Reserve unit covered community policing for their November training. They had the opportunity to partner with Special Olympics athletes, enjoyed conversation, pizza, and competed in various activities! Pretty sure the athletes gave them a run for their money, but lots of smiles and engagement was had from all!!!

Thank you South Dakota Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics & Special Olympics South Dakota for the opportunity!
