Upcoming Conferences & Training
The South Dakota Sheriffs’ Association holds two conferences annually, spring and fall.
Spring Conference: Average attendance of 180-200. Audience is comprised of Sheriff's Offices, Police Departments, and other State and Federal Law Enforcement Agencies.
Fall Conference: Average attendance of 130-150. On odd numbered years, we host a "Dakota Territory Sheriffs Conference" between North Dakota and South Dakota. Even numbered years, we also invite each state, but it is not an official Dakota Territory Conference.
