Tribal Police
Tribal Police are law enforcement agencies that operate within the boundaries of Native American reservations. They are responsible for maintaining peace and enforcing laws specific to their tribal communities. Tribal Police often work closely with federal and state law enforcement agencies to address crime and ensure public safety.
These police forces have jurisdiction over crimes committed on tribal lands, which can include a range of offenses from minor infractions to serious felonies. Tribal Police are governed by the laws of their respective tribes, and they may also follow federal laws, particularly in cases involving non-Native individuals or serious crimes under the Major Crimes Act.
