Anoka County deputy awarded 'Officer of the Year' for off-duty actions in South Dakota
The Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association awarded the the 2024 Officer of the Year award to Anoka County Deputy Tanner Shipman because of an off-duty intervention during a shootout in South Dakota last August.
Shipman was on vacation in Sturgis, South Dakota, in 2023 when he intervened during a shootout between an attendee and South Dakota state trooper at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, according to the Anoka County Sheriff’s Office.
He assisted the trooper in detaining the shooter and assisted with medical care afterward.
Anoka County Sheriff Brad Wise said it wasn’t surprising Shipman instantly helped out and it’s the highest honor to be recognized for this award because it comes from law enforcement peers.
“Deputy Shipman is an inspiration to law enforcement, as well as all in our community,” Wise said.
MPPOA will formally honor Shipman on Saturday.

In June of 1974, a construction worker, George Hanson, unearthed unusual bones while the area was prepared for a new subdivision in Hot Springs, South Dakota. His son recognized one of the finds as a mammoth tooth. The find led to a paleontological site at which research and excavations are continuing.
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (Dakota News Now) – The US Olympic Trials are still in full swing, as hopeful athletes look to make their way to Paris. Some athletes with South Dakota connections are competing to make their path, some in Indianapolis and some out in Eugene, Oregon.
First up was Bryn Greenwaldt of Augustana women’s swim and dive team. She competed in the 50 Freestyle short course yards, finishing 5th in her heat with a time of 25 point 93 seconds. That placed her 56th overall out of 27 heats, and she will not move on in the trials.
He cleared through the first round, and the former South Dakota Coyote Chris Nilsen is getting ready to vault again in the finals tonight. Nilsen tied for the second best vault at 18 feet, eight and one-quarter inches, or five point seven meters. Those finals start Sunday night at 7:40 PM.
Finally, a former South Dakota State Jackrabbit is looking to secure his place in the 100 meter finals. Coby Hilton ran in the fourth heat out of five in the first round, running a 10.19. That’s five one-hundredths of a second slower than his personal best, but good enough to get him into the semifinals.
Those semifinals begin Sunday night at 7:48 PM.
