Yesterday, Mayor Paul TenHaken announced a brand-new show coming to Sioux Falls.
“Narcotics Crime Unit” or as some are calling it, “NCU” will be a show focused on how a specialized unit of men and women will hide out in bushes and behind light poles to catch sneaky marijuana users in the Sioux Falls area.
“It’s going to be so great for the community! I can’t wait to show some clips at City Council meetings,” said Mayor Paul TenHaken.
It’s still not known why exactly Sioux Falls needs a specialized crime fighting unit to complement the Sioux Falls Police Department.
“Well SFPD has a lot of speed traps they need to be setting up. We’ll be hiding with them in plain sight, like police officers are supposed to do,” said one representative from the new unit.
NCU’s ratings will be sure to spike during downtown events.
“Downtown events are huge for marijuana users. They usually hang out and smoke casually and that’s when we come in and bust them for narcotics charges. Marijuana is basically the same as heroin or meth,” said one SFPD representative.
It’s still unclear which station NCU will be aired on.

So dumb.. pointless unit and pointless show. Sioux Falls police do a pretty good job at cracking down on the drug crime. Drugs are an ever happening thing and it’s gonna stay that way. As sad as it is to say… They’ll never be able to stop it..
This can’t be a serious thing. How about people do research and become educated, not start a TV show?? What??
Here’s the thing, saying that marijuana is the same as meth and heroin is a joke as well as assanine, makes you look stupid because it really shows you don’t know what you’re talking about….do some research and find out the facts…while I do agree marijuana can be a gateway drug, by no means is it anywhere near as bad as meth and heroin….
So you’d rather televise the cities drug problem rather than the positive things the city has to offer? that’s a great idea bud😡
This sounds like a joke. Is this a joke? This is one of the dumbest things I have ever heard. So we are wasting time and money on busting pot smokers? Marijuana is basically like meth? I hope this is a joke.
The state of SD has a huge sex trafficking problem. Let’s worry about saving these kids from sex trafficking.
Biggest damn joke I’ve seen today. This can’t be serious? Because marijuana use in Sioux Falls is more important than the fact people are sex trafficking 12 y.o in our town, and I don’t see anyone stopping that, so let’s make a tv show about busting kids! I’m beyond shocked to hell at whomever made that fucking decision. Maybe let’s fix more important issues and maybe ATTRACT people to our city?!?
Look at the top of the page… then look up the word satire. Everyone who thought this was real is a F*cking Moron!
Thank you!! Satire: use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people’s stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues.
your all idiots
Lmao fake. You all thinking this is real are hilarious.
marijuana just as bad as heroin or meth? lol get a clue. so wrong.
Is this how our mayor intends to spend our tax dollars I would say it is time for a new mayor quit wasting our tax dollars
