Valley City (CSi) In a news release, Valley City Police Chief, Fred Thompson addressed violence in schools, which is becoming more common across the U.S.
Many agencies have attempted to address the issue at public forums talking about how to protect students, teachers and the public.
Addressing the issue in Valley City Chief Thompson says, from time to time there are stories that talk about the interaction between a teacher(s) and student(s.) It is not uncommon that the story contains allegations of the teacher(s), security, or police, using excess force against a student.
Thompson said there have been some cellphone videos in the national media that appeared to show teacher(s), administrator(s), or police and/or security personnel using force against someone whom could be considered to be an unruly or combative student.
He added that in many of these stories the teachers, administrators, or law enforcement personnel are vilified in the media before any investigation is completed or a determination made of the truth.
Thompson reports that although these types of incidents are rare, the Valley City community is not immune to them. In his opinion, the North Dakota Legislature did an excellent job in crafting a law that protects both sides and gives law enforcement the ability to determine the offending party.
He said parents need to understand that this law exists not only for the protection of their student but for school district employees when they deal with unruly, uncooperative, or combative students.
Parents are reminded that if their students say that they were harmed, to first call the school administration to try and get the facts.
Concerned parents can contact Valley City Police if they have any questions at 845-3110.
News Release from Chief Thompson:
From time to time in the media there are stories that talk about the interaction between a teacher(s) and student(s). It is not uncommon that the story contains allegations of the teacher(s), security, or police, using excess force against a student. Recently there have been some cellphone videos in the national media that appeared to show teacher(s), administrator(s), or police and/or security personnel using force against someone whom could be considered to be an unruly or combative student. In many of these stories the teachers, administrators, or law enforcement personnel are vilified in the media before any investigation is completed or a determination made of the truth of the matter. Here in Valley City we are not immune to these types of incidents, although they are very rare.
I thought I would take the time to discuss this issue as it pertains to North Dakota Century Code (NDCC) and what VCPD will do with such an allegation. NDCC is clear and states in part:
- A school district employee may not inflict, cause to be inflicted, or threaten to inflict corporal punishment on a student.
- This section does not prohibit a school district employee from using the degree of force necessary:
- To quell a physical disturbance that threatens physical injury to an individual or damage to property;
- To quell a verbal disturbance;
- For self-defense;
- For the preservation of order; or
- To obtain possession of a weapon or other dangerous object within the control of a student.
- For purposes of this section, corporal punishment means the willful infliction of physical pain on a student; willfully causing the infliction of physical pain on a student; or willfully allowing the infliction of physical pain on a student. Physical pain or discomfort caused by athletic competition or other recreational activities voluntarily engaged in by a student is not corporal punishment. A school board may not expand through policy the definition of corporal punishment beyond that provided by this subsection.”
As you can see, no school district employee can harm a student in any fashion and can be prosecuted accordingly if they do. However, as stated in section 2, when a student acts in a
manner that is harmful to others, starts or is involved in a verbal disturbance, is unruly, or has possession of a weapon, school district employees are permitted by law to use that force necessary for the restoration of order, the protection of individuals or property, or to obtain possession of that weapon from a student.
There is no doubt in my mind that should an incident occur at any of the Barnes County School District facilities, that the appropriate law enforcement agency will be notified and that they will respond. In the case of VCPD, we will respond, investigate, complete a written report, and where and when appropriate, make an arrest of the offending party, be it a student or employee.
It is my opinion that the North Dakota Legislature did an excellent job in crafting a law that protects both sides of the altercation and gives law enforcement the ability to determine the offending party. Parents need to understand that this law exists not only for the protection of their student but for School District employees as well when they deal with unruly, uncooperative, or combative students, and that should their student profess that they were harmed, the first call should be to the school administration to try and get the facts. If force is used in the incident school administration routinely contacts the appropriate law enforcement agency so that the matter can be investigated. Parents can also contact law enforcement directly, should they so choose.
In every case when notified, law enforcement will determine the offending party and deal with them accordingly. We do not take sides, and we will gather the facts in an impartial and professional manner.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions at (701) 845-3110.

MINOT, N.D. (AP) – One of two suspects in a shooting at a Minot restaurant last summer will spend about two years in prison.
30-year-old Justin Walker pleaded guilty on Monday to reckless endangerment and being a felon in possession of a firearm.
He was sentenced to five years in prison with three years suspended and given credit for 225 days he already has served behind bars.
No one was hurt in the Aug. 23, 2015, shooting at an Applebee’s restaurant that left bullet holes in the building and a parked car. Police say it began when Walker went to the restaurant to confront his estranged wife and sparked a scuffle involving several people at the table.
The second suspect is to stand trial later this month.
MINOT, N.D. (AP) – A man who left behind several clues for police investigating a bank robbery in Minot says he will plead guilty to the holdup.
Charles Norton is charged in federal court with bank robbery. Authorities say he held up a US Bank shortly before noon on Jan. 21.
Investigators say Norton donned his distinct purple-framed glasses during the robbery, left pieces of the note demanding money behind in his hotel room and mumbled under his breath about the theft in front of a social worker handling his son’s foster care.
The plea agreement filed Tuesday in federal court says Norton used some of the money to buy marijuana and gave some of it to friends and relatives.
The charge carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Another U.S. presidential hopeful has scheduled a campaign event in North Dakota.

Sanders is competing with Hillary Clinton for the Democratic endorsement. Whoever gets it likely will run against presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump.
Trump is to address the Williston Basin Petroleum Conference at the Bismarck Event Center on May 26. There are 2,500 tickets available to the public, and The Bismarck Tribune reports they’re a hot item. The 1,200 tickets available online sold almost immediately Monday, and people lined up at the box office Tuesday.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota’s congressional delegation says the University of North Dakota is getting a $50,000 grant to study the effects parasites may have on transmission of the Zika virus.
The funds awarded by the National Science Foundation are aimed at helping researchers investigate the rate of transmission of the Zika virus in an effort to help control its spread.
North Dakota’s Health Department announced last month that a state resident tested positive for the Zika virus.
Prevention confirmed the case in a woman who traveled to Puerto Rico while pregnant. She was not identified.
The Zika virus can cause microcephaly, a severe birth defect in which babies are born with abnormally small heads. It is spread by mosquitoes and sexual contact.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Supporters of a proposed constitutional amendment that they believe will bolster the rights of crime victims in North Dakota say a California businessman has donated more than $1 million toward the effort.
Backers of the so-called Marsy’s Law turned in more than 44,000 signatures to the North Dakota Secretary of State’s Office on Tuesday. The group needs only about 27,000 valid signatures to bring their proposal to a public vote in November.
The law is named after Marsalee “Marsy” Nicholas, who was killed by her ex-boyfriend in 1983. Her brother, Henry Nicholas, is bankrolling a national effort to expand the law into more states, including South Dakota.
Groups representing North Dakota defense attorneys and prosecutors say North Dakota already has laws on the books that protect victims of violent crimes.
KILLDEER, N.D. (AP) – The public is getting a chance to weigh in on an oil pipeline proposed in McKenzie and Dunn counties.
The State Public Service Commission is holding a hearing Wednesday in Killdeer on the project proposed by BOE Pipeline LLC. The meeting begins at 9 a.m. Mountain time in City Hall.
Regulators say the 42-mile-long, 16-inch-diameter pipeline would carry crude from a new terminal near Johnson’s Corner to an existing terminal near Killdeer that’s connected by a pipeline to a rail hub southwest of Dickinson.
The $55 million pipeline would have the capacity to move 165,000 barrels of oil daily.
GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) – A reception is planned to honor the retiring dean of aerospace sciences at the University of North Dakota.

IS is claiming that a suicide bomber carried out the attack, but Iraqi officials are denying that.
ANKARA, Turkey (AP) – Turkey’s president says his forces have killed some 3,000 Islamic State militants in Syria and Iraq.

Turkey’s leader addressed military chiefs of Balkan nations today, and also denounced nations who’ve accused Turkey of supporting IS as “vile.”
TOKYO (AP) – Mitsubishi Motors says it suspects that false tests and inflated mileage is affecting all of its vehicles sold in Japan.

The Japanese automaker is under investigation for lying about fuel economy data.
