Résumé

In the face of resource deficiencies, complicated jurisdictional issues, and what are often vast geographic coverage areas, this sentiment is shared by virtually all tribal law enforcement agencies. Tribal law enforcement prioritizes being there for the people they serve through standard policing functions, community events, and day to day interpersonal interactions. Community policing is not a program or activity in Indian country; rather, it is a guiding philosophy and way of life. In 2013, the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office) and the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) partnered to explore what community policing looks like in Indian country and what specific strategies work well for tribal law enforcement. Being small and self-governed, tribes are well-positioned to engage tribal members in helping to identify and solve safety problems in the community. Tribal law enforcement has the ability to be nimble and, with the support of the tribal government, test new and innovative justice ideas. This publication explores strategies in the following areas of community policing: „„Partnerships within tribes and with external stakeholders „„Crime-focused partnerships „„Training partnerships „„Information-sharing partnerships „„Court partnerships „„Incorporation of tribal culture and tradition „„Youth outreach programs When working with tribal law enforcement, it is important to understand both tribal history and the realities and challenges tribes face today. This publication provides an overview of typical tribal government structure; the authorization and design of law enforcement agencies in Indian country; and how historical trauma, high crime rates, and lack of economic opportunity affect tribal law enforcement. Through the Tribal Law and Order Act of 2010, the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013, and other legislation, state and federal government agencies are working to improve safety in Indian country. This publication seeks to inform tribal law enforcement leaders and their state, local, and federal partners about effective community policing strategies that address public safety issues in ways that reflect the traditional and current values of the tribes they serve.
