The Butte County Sheriff's Office, under the leadership of Sheriff Fred Lamphere, is dedicated to maintaining law and order across Butte County, South Dakota. With a total staff of 19, including 5 sworn deputies, the office provides comprehensive law enforcement services, including patrol operations, criminal investigations, emergency response, and the enforcement of court orders. The department also serves the communities of Fruitdale, Nisland, and Newell through contractual agreements.
Regarding detention services, the Butte County Sheriff's Office does not operate its jail facility. Instead, it contracts with neighboring counties for jail beds and participates in a compact with the Western South Dakota Juvenile Services Center to house juvenile detainees.
When an individual is arrested within the county, the sheriff's office handles the initial booking process, which includes documenting personal information, recording the details of the arrest, and taking fingerprints and photographs. Since the county lacks its own holding jail, the arrestees are not detained at the sheriff's administrative facility. Instead, they are promptly transferred to a nearby regional detention center. This regional facility is equipped to house inmates and manage their needs from the time of their arrest until their case is adjudicated.
The transfer to the nearby detention center ensures that all individuals are securely detained in a facility designed to handle various security and logistical needs. This center provides housing, meals, medical care, and access to legal resources for the detainees. It also facilitates visitation, communication with family and legal representatives, and participation in programs that may aid in their rehabilitation or legal defense.
Overall, the sheriff's office focuses on the enforcement and administrative aspects of its role, collaborating with the regional detention center to ensure that arrested individuals are appropriately processed and securely held until their legal proceedings are concluded. This arrangement allows the sheriff's office to concentrate on maintaining law and order within the county while leveraging the resources and infrastructure of the detention center for inmate management.
