PIERRE, S.D.–A bill in the South Dakota legislature would toughen the penalty for anyone convicted of attempting to murder a law enforcement officer in the state. Senate Bill 48 is one of a number of bills brought by Attorney General Marty Jackley…..
The bill is supported by the state’s law enforcement community and state’s attorneys. Staci Ackerman represents the South Dakota Sheriff’s Association…
Senator Jim Mehlhaff of Pierre says during his time on the Pierre City Commission as Public Safety Commissioner, he was disgusted by how law enforcement across the country is treated…
The Senate Judiciary Committee delayed action on the bill as it requires a prison jail population and cost estimate which has not been completed yet.
