CANYON CITY โ€“ Grant County Sheriff Todd McKinley said folks will begin to see some new faces representing Grant Countyโ€™s finest in 2023. He said theyโ€™ve hired on three people recently:

โ€œWe picked up Sam Stinnett. He was a local face that many will knowโ€”he was a City of John Day Patrol Officer, and picked him up for in our parole and probation side, so heโ€™s over there now and was sworn in.

Also, we picked up Garrett Shreve. Heโ€™s in the area for a Deputy, and then also Mike Ratchick filled a vacancy we had on the patrol side.โ€

At the end of 2022, the Sheriff issued a letter to his staff and the public and in it stated that last year was the busiest on record for the Grant County Sheriffโ€™s Office.
