Activities and accomplishments of the law enforcement training program under South Dakota's Law Enforcement Officers Standards and Training Commission are presented in this annual report, as well as other information on the Commission.
Abstract
During 1977, 194 officers enrolled in the general law enforcement training session and applied for certification. Of the 194 applying, 187 were certified. The seven officers who were not certified failed to comply with the rules or did not pass the examination with at least a 70 percent mark. A total of 11 law enforcement officers were dismissed from the training session for disciplinary reasons. The Law Enforcement Officers Standards and Training Commission revoked the certification of three law enforcement officers who were found in violation of the rules. Several hearings were held on contested cases during 1977. During the year, all reserve unit records in the State were inspected by law enforcement training staff. Upon satisfactory compliance, the units were certified and 140 certificates were issued. Tables and supplementary materials are provided. (Author summary modified)
