Former Belle Fourche Police Department Secretary Nicole Shiffrar was fired from her job on August 3 for reasons she deems 'false'. Shiffrar said she filed grievances with the city in response to her termination and also against Police Chief Tom Maunders and Officer Justin Shellhammer. Since she's not satisfied with the way her grievance was handled by the Police Committee, Shiffrar is appealing their decision.
"I want the future employees and the current employees of the City of Belle Fourche, in particular the police department, to have a work environment free of harassment and intimidation," she said.
City Council members met in executive session on the issue for hours. During the break, we tried to get a comment from Chief Maunders, who walked away when we asked questions.
The council is expected to inform Shiffrar of their decision within 10 days.
