S.D. Admin. R. 2:01:06:17 - Basic requirement for continuing education of officers
Beginning July 1, 2006, to maintain a basic certification, a law enforcement officer must complete 40 hours of training in a two-year period in the following areas:
These hours will be calculated biennially during even-numbered calendar years. A written report containing the name of the law enforcement officer, signed by the agency head or designee, certifying that the officer has successfully completed the continuing educational requirements and firearms requalification, must be submitted by the employing agency to the executive secretary no later than January 25th of the year following an even-numbered year. An agency shall maintain training records and make them available for inspection by the commission, through the Office of Law Enforcement Training. A failure to complete the requirements necessary to maintain basic certification within the two-year period will result in the certification becoming inactive until such time as all training requirements are completed.
