PIERRE, S.D. – South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley Monday welcomed 23 officers, including 11 tribal law enforcement officers, to the state’s first-ever tribal enforcement specific training session.
Gov. Kristi Noem and Attorney General Jackley in April announced the first-ever tribal-prioritized basic certification course to be held in South Dakota. In the past, a handful of tribal officers trained in South Dakota while the majority of tribal law enforcement officers received their training in New Mexico, meaning they had to be away from their families.
Monday was the first full day of training. The 11 tribal officers selected for the training are from the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe, Oglala Sioux Tribe, and Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate Sioux Tribe. The other 12 members consist of officers from other non-tribal law enforcement agencies.
