On today's show...

SDPB’s Lee Strubinger brings us his reporting. He dives into the impacts of South Dakota’s revised residency requirements for voting registration.

A local voice paints us a picture of what's happening in Haiti. Bruce Blumer, co-founder of the nonprofit Haiti Alive, discusses his January trip to the island and how the situation has gotten worse.

We then dive into what's on the rise and what's on the decline with Sioux Falls Police Chief Jon Thum. We talk about 2023's public safety trends and crime rates.

Chief Thum also discusses the difficulties of law enforcement recruitment and who's the perfect candidate for police work.

Plus, we look at what's changed this year with South Dakota's election laws. Pennington County Auditor Cindy Mohler shares what will be different this November.
