🚧 ROUNDABOUTS ARE HERE!🚧

It's been a busy construction season, but the wait is almost over for the full opening of Dickinson's first-ever roundabout intersections!

To mark the occasion, we solicited the help of our department's roundabout expert, Officer Connor Wood. Being from the U.K., Officer Wood gives us some unique insight on the basics of traversing a roundabout 😎 .

Drive Smart. Yield Right. Circle of Life.

PROMOTION TIME!

Congrats go out to two Dickinson PD employees on their recent promotions!

Officer Derek Miller was promoted to the rank of Corporal. He joined the DPD in early 2024, becoming one of the first officers hired under our new "lateral" program after serving in Grand Island PD in Nebraska for 6 years.

Michael Heiser was promoted to the rank of Public Safety Telecommunicator II. He is a North Dakota Army National Guard veteran with a combat deployment to Iraq. He joined the DPD in 2022, and also came to us with prior experience; this time as a tenured 911 dispatcher in Fallon County in Montana.

Congrats to both of you! We are proud to have you as part of our family!

Thank you to Red Rock Ford for the kind words (and also the goodie baskets)! We appreciate you!

October 28th is National First Responders Day! ❤️🚒🚓📞

To show our appreciation, we stopped by State Ave to drop off some goodies for our local firefighters, police officers, dispatchers, and reception staff! We were even lucky enough to snag a photo!

It was an honor to put together these appreciation baskets and thank you in person.

Your bravery and dedication to keeping our community safe are admirable. It isn’t easy, yet you still show up every day with a smile on your face and passion that shows through the way you care for those in need, regardless of what they may need you for.

To those who dedicate their lives to serving and protecting our community, thank you.

A special thank you to CCBC of Dickinson for donating four cases of energy drinks to the Police Department!
(Tom, you rock!)

We hate to be the bearer of the obvious, but winter is coming. That means the seasonal parking ordinance will take effect in a few weeks.

Section 58-546 states that it is unlawful to park any boat, camper, motor home, or trailer on the public right-of-way in residential areas from Nov 1 - March 31. Any of those remaining on the streets during this time are subject to ticket and towing.

Help keep our streets clean this winter and tuck the toys away for the season!
