   Last Friday, 42 recruits graduated from the state Basic Law Enforcement Certification Course in Pierre. This included three from the Marshall County Sheriff’s Office.
   The recruits, who represent 23 different state and local law enforcement agencies, will graduate after completing 13 weeks of 520 hours of coursework. The certification course is required for the students to become fully qualified law enforcement officers in South Dakota.
   Local graduates from the Marshall County Sheriff’s Office include Drew Freeman, Ridge Oliver and Slade Owen.
   Graduates are required to complete course work that includes instruction in the law, arrest control tactics, firearms, vehicle handling, and criminal investigations.
   The training program is taught by full-time staff from the South Dakota Division of Criminal Investigation and adjunct instructors from law enforcement agencies from across the state.
   “The certification course challenges the students in many different areas of law enforcement,” said Attorney General Jackley. “They have committed themselves to serving their communities and state as law enforcement officers.”

Poll: END OR RETAIN EXPANDED MEDICAID COVERAGE? South Dakota voters will decide in November on a proposed constitutional amendment that would end the state’s expanded Medicaid coverage if the federal government’s share of funding for the expansion falls below 90%. The expansion, approved by voters in 2022, provides Medicaid eligibility to certain adults ages 19 to 64 with incomes up to the federal limit established by the constitutional amendment. The proposed amendment would remove that expanded coverage if the federal funding level drops below 90%. If the election were held today, how would you vote?

I would Vote “Yes” to adopt the amendment (ending expanded Medicaid)

I would Vote “No” to leave the Constitution as it is
