<< Warrants Division Home

The primary agencies that make up the Black Hills Fugitive Task force are the United States Marshal Service and the Pennington County Sheriff's Office. The task force is assisted by many local, state and federal law enforcement agencies.

Formed in 2005, the mission of the Black Hills Fugitive Task Force is to pursue and arrest, in a joint coordinated manner, persons who have un-executed state and federal warrants lodged against them. The intent of the joint effort is to remove from the streets, local, state and federal fugitives, thereby improving public safety. The Black Hills Fugitive Task Force has been involved in several large scale enforcement operations including Operation Wolfpack, Operation Falcon II, Domestic Violence roundups as well as Pennington County roundups. The Black Hills Fugitive Task Force also assists several other agencies around the United States in locating and apprehending fugitives who had fled their jurisdiction and entered the State of South Dakota.
