Citing funding issues, the Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe of South Dakota has dropped plans to start its own police department.
The tribe sought Bureau of Indian Affairs funding for the new force. But the BIA would only provide money for one officer.
So the tribe is sticking to its existing police agreement with the city of Flandreau. The joint force is funding by federal grants awarded to the tribe and the city.
