South Dakota’s police academy will offer training exclusively to tribal police recruits this summer.
That’s according to Gov. Kristi Noem, who says Attorney General Marty Jackley has agreed to establish a “tribal law enforcement specific” certification course at the Law Enforcement Training Academy he oversees in Pierre.
“Just for tribal officers — so they can be equipped to go back to their home communities and help keep them safe,” the Republican governor said during a stop in Sioux Falls Thursday, noting it will be open to all nine of South Dakota’s tribes.
