Officer Stark steps down

Approval of new full-time officer hire given by Stanley Council at August 21 meeting

Posted

The Stanley Police Department will soon be getting new officer, with officer Shaun Stark leaving the department as of August 31 to work at the Stanley Correctional Institution. 

A graduate of Stanley-Boyd High School, Stark was hired after the creation of a new full-time position to offset Stanley and Boyd’s mutual issues with keeping part-time officer hires. 

Now another officer will fill Stark’s role. 

“I was informed by Officer Shaun Stark that he will be resigning his full-time police officer position effective August 31, 2023,” Weiland said. But with a full-time position to offer, applicants are easier to find. 

“They did approve a hire at the Council last week,” Stanley Police Lance Weiland shared Monday via phone. Contained in the consent agenda for August 21, Melissa McDonough was approved for full-time hire by the council. McDonough’s hire is conditional upon passing post-hire tests along with a mandatory background check. 

With Weiland now working on the follow up details, expect an announcement from the Stanley Police Department Facebook page on the new officer shortly.
