GFSO member wins major award

By Doug Barrett Sep 20, 2022 | 8:02 AM

A member of the Grand Forks Sheriff’s Department is North Dakota’s latest recipient of the 40 Under 40 Award.

Cpl. Shane Rothenberger was notified of the honor earlier this month by the International Association of Chiefs of Police. The award is intended to recognize commitment to their profession and having a positive impact on their communities and the field of policing regardless of rank.

The IACP says as a member of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa – and a descendent of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe – Corporal Rothenberger works to bridge the gap between the Native American community and law enforcement. He has created training about Native American culture and teaches it to area law enforcement agencies and training academies.

As a recipient of this award Cpl. Rothenberger will attend the annual IACP conference in Dallas, Texas in October.

Rothenberger has been with the GFSO since 2016. He is the third North Dakota law enforcement officer to receive the honor.
