They're not cross-deputized but the tribal cops seem to do pretty good here. FBI too but rarely anything happens beyond tribal jurisdiction. Drugs are still a problem but they are so damn prevalent there's not a lot the cops can do. the chairman , a young guy, about a year ago decided there would be trug testing for all tribal employees starting tomorrow. Man, was he a nervous guy until he dropped the policy and things cooled down. Gave the guy credit for truing but a law is good only so far as the people sanction it.
Good on the guy for trying. Too bad shot down by the Rez mentality. One Yaka Rez cop was posting on facebook that any white man was fair game if found on the Rez. He was let go but his auntie was on the tribal council and he got his job back. I have a friend who is white ( non tribal) and a tribal detective on the Rez -he sure knows how to play the politics to survive lol
Hes retiring soon so comfortable posting
