SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Former South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley will spend this campaign season searching for the next director of the Division of Criminal Investigation to join him in the attorney general’s office after no other candidate has emerged to challenge his bid to take his old job back.
Jackley, a Republican, on Wednesday announced a search committee comprised of 14 current and former law enforcement officers and prosecutors to evaluate prospects for the next leader of the state’s Division of Criminal Investigation.
The committee includes Mark Vargo, who is serving as interim attorney general, and the application process will be posted on the attorney general’s website.
