The Rapid City Police Department has had a relationship with the Council of Elders since the inception of the group in 2015. The Council of Elders was founded to address race relations in the community. The RCPD and Council of Elders have had an ad hoc relationship, working on developing incidents, or as a response to community concerns that had been brought to the Council of Elders from the RCPD. The Council of Elders has been actively involved in several processes to improve the community and police relations.
