Criminals should also have the opportunity to rehabilitate
But if South Dakotans do get involved in drugs or another aspect of crime, that should not be the final word. Their punishment should match their crime, but they should also have the opportunity to rehabilitate. The Sixth Circuit Problem-Solving
Court is a rigorous program that includes five phases and requires frequent alcohol and drug testing. It's a proven strategy that reduces recidivism, saves taxpayer dollars in the long-run, and restores hope and dignity for these individuals.

We recruited law enforcement officers to move to our state
When the riots and violence started across the country months and months ago, we launched a nationwide campaign to recruit law enforcement officers to move to our state. Hundreds of law enforcement officers responded to our invitation.
And we are so proud to be known as a state that stands and defends the people who put their lives on the line every day to keep our communities safe.

FactCheck: No, BLM protests are mostly peaceful
Noem accused Democrats--and only Democrats--of running cities that have been taken over by "violent mobs" [by Black Lives Matter protestors].Protests have taken place in at least 450 cities. They include large ones in Miami, whose mayor is a
registered Republican. Protests also arose in smaller cities and towns in regions supportive of Trump. Noem's claim that the cities she spoke of were "overrun by violent mobs" is outright false. The protests in recent months were largely peaceful.
