The Oglala Sioux Tribe of South Dakota is getting ready to move into a $41 million justice and law enforcement complex on the reservation.

The Pine Ridge Justice Center will house the Department of Public Safety, the tribe's attorney general, the tribal court system and a detention facility. Investigators from the Bureau of Indian Affairs will also work there.

"It's going to be outstanding, because it's bringing our courts, our attorney general, prosecutor's officer, our corrections, communication and law enforcement all in one building," police chief Ron Duke told KELO.

The 90,000 square-foot complex is located just north of the Nebraska state line.
