Box Elder

The City Clerk Department continues discussions with the International Institute of Municipal Clerks (IIMC), regional directors, and SD finance officers and municipal clerks on a venture in combining finance officers and city clerks into one organization/association.  A committee is forming that consists of other South Dakota City Clerk departments and Finance Officers to continue moving towards this beneficial, professional joint organization.

The Box Elder Police Department would like to welcome Officer Porter Wimp to the agency! 

Porter was born and raised just a jump skip away from the box in Rapid City. He decided after graduating from Stevens High School to attend Western Dakota Technical College wherein he studied Criminal Justice with emphasis in Law Enforcement. Porter was excited to apply and accept a position with the BEPD after having graduated from WDT.

Porter enjoys baseball, time with his girlfriend and their two fur babies; Zeus and, Paisley.

Welcome to Box Elder Officer Wimp, we look forward to your service with our community in the years to come!

On October 1st, the “Fitness Steps Challenge” kicked off and staff have been encouraged to track their weekly steps as part of our ongoing wellness initiative. Employees have walked, run, hiked, lunged, and danced their way to higher step counts which leads to more movement and more health benefits!
