News – Sheridan Media
Sheridan Police Department Chief Travis Koltiska and Captain Tom Ringley made an appearance on Sheridan Media’s Public Pulse to dispel some misconceptions about law enforcement and the SPD.
Chief Koltiska said officers are assigned data driven high visibility enforcement along with their caseloads, targeting unsafe driving as an everyday threat to Sheridan’s community safety.

Captain Ringley also noted that detectives are utilized to free up patrol officers to manage both enforcement and investigative responsibilities.
Another misconception often raised during traffic stops is that an officer’s length of service determines their readiness to patrol alone.
The department Captain said no officer is assigned to solo patrol unless they have met the rigorous standards of the SPD training program and demonstrated they are fully prepared for independent duty.
