The resolution urges the United States Department of Homeland Security to establish a tribal law enforcement training academy in South Dakota, recognizing the vital role that tribal law enforcement agencies play in ensuring public safety for all citizens. It highlights the importance of collaboration between state and federal entities to enhance public safety initiatives and improve the capabilities of law enforcement agencies. The resolution emphasizes that South Dakota, home to nine tribal nations, is an ideal location for such an academy, as it can tailor training programs to meet the specific needs and challenges of these communities.

Furthermore, the resolution calls for the Department of Homeland Security to work alongside tribal leaders, state law enforcement agencies, and other stakeholders to ensure that the training programs offered at the academy are culturally sensitive and address the unique needs of the tribal communities in the region. It also notes that South Dakota has already begun offering law enforcement training programs in partnership with the Bureau of Indian Affairs, focusing on the needs of officers serving the tribal nations. Copies of the resolution will be sent to relevant officials, including the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security and the South Dakota Congressional delegation.
