 Governor Kristi Noem was also behind the new training and stressed the need for better equipped officers to help fight what she called drug and cartel influence from further damaging South Dakota reservations. Jackley said despite Noem's focus on drugs and cartels on the reservations, he believes the training is going to help solve a much broader issue. Jackley added he's hopeful more people will become interested in becoming officers to help with shortages in some areas across the state. Jack Cottle, Cota Territory News.
