The city of Sioux Falls has come up with a clever name for these stations, P.R.E.C.I.N.C.T.S, short for Police REquired Check IN Community Time Stamps. But the Police Chief and Mayor want us to know they are NOT precincts;
Mayor Paul TenHaken is quick to emphasize that these report-to-work stations are not police precincts, which he opposed in the mayoral race earlier this year. Instead, officers would report to an office at a busy area of the city and receive their daily briefing before heading off on their beat.
Remember, the city doesn’t want you to confuse P.R.E.C.I.N.C.T.S with Precincts. They are different.
