Chief Connell shared his gratitude for the honor, stating, “Being selected as the ‘Agency of the Year’ is truly an honor. Thank you to the South Dakota Law Enforcement Training Center for recognizing the Box Elder Police Department’s contributions to public safety in our state."

"A special thank you to Box Elder’s Chris Misselt, who has been the ‘tip of the spear’ for coordinating and executing many training curriculums that have positively impacted police agencies throughout the State of South Dakota."

We’re proud to welcome Officer Caleb Misselt and Officer Hailey Thompson as the newest members of the Box Elder Police Department. Training Coordinator Chris Misselt had the unique honor of presenting diplomas to both of his sons, including Caleb, who now joins the department.
