The Minnehaha County State's Attorney serves the citizens of our county and of South Dakota as the chief prosecutor of adult and juvenile crimes occurring in Minnehaha County. The office consists of a staff of 35, including 19 lawyers, all committed to helping to preserve the quality of life and low crime rates enjoyed by those who reside in southeast South Dakota.
