Andrew Nygaard,
Hi! I'm Officer Andrew Nygaard. I grew up around the Sioux Falls area and graduated from Harrisburg High School. After high school, I attended Southeast Technical College for law enforcement and obtained an associate degree. The day after my 21st birthday, I was hired as a deputy sheriff for McCook County. After moving my family closer to home, I joined the Brandon Police Department and became a field training officer. While working for the Brandon Police Department, I had the rare opportunity to deliver a baby and receive a stork pin. I never thought, as a police officer, that would happen. In 2023, I joined the Lennox Police Department and have been enjoying the friendly and welcoming community. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, playing video games, working on cars, and traveling. If you see me out and about, don't be afraid to say hi!
