Attorney General Appoints Allender to Law Enforcement
Officers Standards and Training Commission
PIERRE, S.D.- Attorney General Marty Jackley announced today the appointment of Steve Allender Mayor of Rapid City to the Law Enforcement Officers Standards and Training Commission. He has been appointed to a two-year term effective August 2015. Allender replaces Ken Tracy of Mitchell on the commission.
“Steve Allender has 30 years of law enforcement service to the State of South Dakota. Steve is continuing his public service as Mayor of Rapid City, and his diverse background will assist him with the important task of developing standards and training for law enforcement officers,” said Jackley. “I would also like to extend my appreciation to Ken Tracy for his years of service to law enforcement and the people of South Dakota.”
The South Dakota Law Enforcement Standards and Training Commission is an 11 person commission. Eight of the commissioners are appointed by the Attorney General. They represent the South Dakota Highway Patrol, South Dakota Sheriff’s Offices, Police Departments, the State Bar Association, institutes of higher education, the Municipal League, County Commissioners and an enrolled tribal member who is a certified law enforcement officer. The other three commissioners are the Chief Agent from the South Dakota Division of Criminal Investigation, a regional Federal Bureau of Investigation Agent, and the Attorney General. The Commission sets the training standards and certification process for the South Dakota law enforcement community.

That sounds about right for Jackley appoint a Democract that has had a history of racism and in his mayoral campaign admitted he doesn’t believe in all of the Constitution
Steve Allender is a no-nonsense type of guy and this will be an excellent appointment.
A liberal non-nonsense gun control supporter.. How is that an excellent appointment?
i live in robbie ludeman’s old neighborhood. a lot of cops want someone tracking who’s got access to a gun.
Those comments are so inane they don’t even deserve a response .
Rattle rattle, rattle..
Don’t get the old establishment moderate started..
Mike what do you mean they don’t deserve a response? Please explain the issue you have?
I’m proud of your designation as the Hill City Rattler . When you grow enough balls to identify yourself I will really come out to play .
Wow. You are really a State Representative?
In the old days, you couldn’t talk like a billionaire with bad hair and get re-elected.
Rep. Verchio,
You were dubbed “The Hill City Rattler” by the conservative little old lady activist contingency in the SDGOP. They said you earned the distinction from your surly nature, and your tendency to sink fangs in their backs on conservative issues, for the establishment.
From your interactions on here, I can see how you earned the moniker..
rep. verchio, i’m not from your district but if i was i’d vote for you every time your name was on the ballot, IF ONLY for the high quality of idiotic enemies you attract. from what i know of these people you must be doing everything right, especially in choosing to ignore them. you keep getting elected. keep up the good work sir.
