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 of tribal law enforcement agencies in maintaining public safety and the rule of law for all citizens. It highlights the importance of collaboration between state and federal entities to enhance law enforcement capabilities, particularly for the nine tribal nations in South Dakota, each with unique needs. The proposed academy would provide tailored training to law enforcement personnel serving Native American communities, ultimately contributing to the safety and well-being of tribal members.

Additionally, the resolution emphasizes that the training academy should not be associated with the Department of Homeland Security's Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and should not serve as a detention center for individuals in ICE custody. It calls for collaboration with tribal leaders and relevant stakeholders to ensure that the training programs address the specific cultural contexts and challenges faced by tribal communities. The resolution also expresses support for increased funding for tribal law enforcement initiatives nationwide and mandates that copies of the resolution be sent to key stakeholders, including the Secretary of Homeland Security and the South Dakota Congressional delegation.
