๐ŸŽ„โœจ Operation North Pole Patrol โœจ๐ŸŽ„

This Christmas season, the Stanley Police Department was honored to spread some holiday cheer through Operation North Pole Patrol. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, we were able to gift 13 kids with Christmas presents and provide one local family with a very generous donation from a caring local family.

Each kiddo also received a Bible, graciously donated by The Pursuit Church, helping share hope and encouragement along with Christmas joy.

๐ŸŽ A heartfelt thank you to our amazing supporters:
โ€ข JB and Sons Trucking
โ€ข Moore Family
โ€ข Peaceful Ponderosa
โ€ข Jim and Kathy Ellingson Family
โ€ข Rodne Family
โ€ข The Pursuit Church

We wish the Stanley community a very Merry Christmas and hope we were able to sprinkle a little Christmas magic into the lives of these kiddos. โค๏ธ๐ŸŽ…

The Stanley Police Department would like to announce K9 Officer Sam Pesik as our new Chief of Police!

Officer Pesik has been serving the Stanley community since June 2023, and many of you already know him from the hard work heโ€™s done alongside his K9 partner, Phantom. Together, theyโ€™ve spent countless hours keeping narcotics out of our city and protecting our community.

Officer Pesik stepped up as Interim Chief following former Chief Littenโ€™s resignation, and weโ€™re excited to share that he has now accepted the full-time Chief of Police position.

Even as Chief, Sam, and of course Phantom, will continue doing patrol work, staying active on the streets and doing what they do best.

Please join us in congratulating Chief Pesik on his well-earned role. We look forward to his leadership, dedication, and occasional loud bark from Phantom.
