Indian Law Enforcement in South Dakota

South Dakota x 15.030 is a BIA policing join, not an officer census

This page pairs CFDA 15.030, INDIAN LAW ENFORCEMENT, with South Dakota place of performance. The join is a Bureau of Indian Affairs law-enforcement listing crossed with a state location field, not South Dakota’s entire public-safety budget and not a census of officers. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $182,597,256.45 on 20 awards. The extract does not list departments, officer counts, or incident totals. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which state has more need, and not a claim that 20 awards equal 20 departments or 20 officers.

Other Interior listings — detention, tribal courts, or different BIA public-safety codes — sit outside this total unless they also carry 15.030. Mixing those listings into $182,597,256.45 would invent a combined figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and crime reports is not causation. Incident figures are not in the packet, and this page does not rank communities as safer or worse. Place of performance as South Dakota locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $182,597,256.45 in the state treasury. Rapid City-versus-Pierre folklore is not a reservation split in this packet. Do not treat the obligation sum as a crime ranking.

20 awards behind $182.6 million

Mean obligation is about $9,129,862.82 if $182,597,256.45 were divided evenly across 20 lines. That ratio is not a published department budget and not a cost per officer. Award count is a row count, including possible continuations and modifications. It is not a count of officers, departments, or incidents.

Twenty lines are scannable on the overlay. This page will not invent recipient names. Open Indian Law Enforcement in South Dakota for the stored table. Do not convert 20 into a map of South Dakota tribal police departments. The $182,597,256.45 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. Inspect named lines rather than inferring an officer census.

Questions

How much Indian Law Enforcement funding is obligated in South Dakota?

USAspending.gov shows $182,597,256.45 in obligations for CFDA 15.030 with South Dakota as place of performance, across 20 awards. The sum is a commitment total on assistance awards, not outlays and not South Dakota’s full public-safety budget. Other listings are outside this join unless they also carry 15.030.

Do 20 awards mean 20 South Dakota tribal police departments?

No. Award count is a row count of assistance awards and can include continuations. It is not a department or officer census. The packet does not name agencies. See the South Dakota 15.030 overlay for named lines as USAspending stored them.

Does this include Indian school repair in South Dakota?

No. School replacement and repair is CFDA 15.062 on a separate South Dakota join. This page is CFDA 15.030 only. Those school dollars are not inside $182,597,256.45 unless the award also carries 15.030. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov.

Is $183 million already spent on South Dakota tribal policing?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on assistance awards. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $182,597,256.45 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault’s extract. Officer counts, incident totals, and remaining balances are not published in this packet.
