From that 1869 decision springs the humble beginnings of the Bureau of Indian Affairs&#8217; (BIA&#8217;s) role in law enforcement.<\/p>\n<p>Though our knowledge, training, tactics, and equipment have changed dramatically since that time, our commitment to serving American Indian communities has stayed strong. We are an important part of the law enforcement community, and we are very proud to serve and protect those living on American Indian reservations.<\/p>\n<p>Public safety professionals around the world share a fairly universal job description, and the most fundamental responsibility they share is to protect those living and working within their jurisdictions. The BIA&#8217;s Office of Justice Services (OJS) is no different. The OJS mission is to provide justice services and technical assistance to federally recognized American Indian tribes and communities and to respect and protect the sovereignty of those tribes through promotion of self-determination.<\/p>\n<p>From 1778 to 1871, U.S. relations with indigenous American Indian nations were defined and conducted largely through the treaty-making process. These &#8220;contracts among nations&#8221; recognized and established unique sets of rights, benefits, and conditions for the treaty-making tribes who agreed to cede millions of acres of their homelands to the United States and accept its protection. Like other treaty obligations of the United States, American Indian treaties are considered to be &#8220;the supreme law of the land,&#8221; and they are the foundation upon which federal Indian law and the federal Indian trust relationship is based.<\/p>\n<p>The OJS is divided into nine regional districts across the United States and oversees (to a differing degree) 208 separate law enforcement programs. Of those, 43 are what we refer to as &#8220;Direct Service,&#8221; meaning they are operated by federal OJS law enforcement staff. The remainder (165) is operated by the tribal nations themselves through Self-Determination contracts or Self-Government compacts.<\/p>\n<p>These contracts can be for all or part of the law enforcement program, and in some instances, we have blended programs where the BIA-OJS conducts the criminal investigative services for the tribes, while other services are operated by the tribes themselves. This can also be true of corrections, police, and all other aspects of a law enforcement program.<\/p>\n<p>Tribal police receive their training through the U.S. Indian Police Academy at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC), or through their local state-operated basic police academies. The 16-week U.S. Indian Police Academy is the basic police training that all BIA police officers receive and is a FLETC-approved basic academy.<\/p>\n<p>The nine BIA OJS District Offices are in the following locations:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Aberdeen, South Dakota (District I)<\/li>\n<li>Oklahoma City, Oklahoma (District II)<\/li>\n<li>Phoenix, Arizona (District III)<\/li>\n<li>Albuquerque, New Mexico (District IV)<\/li>\n<li>Billings, Montana (District V)<\/li>\n<li>Nashville, Tennessee (District VI)<\/li>\n<li>Minneapolis, Minnesota (District VII)<\/li>\n<li>Portland, Oregon (District VIII)<\/li>\n<li>Sacramento, California (District IX)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>OJS law enforcement personnel are extremely fortunate to have the opportunity to work and live in some of the most beautiful parts of the United States. From reservations located high in the mountains and mesas of Arizona to the bottom of the Grand Canyon, and from the Great Plains reservations of North and South Dakota to the beautiful fishing communities in the Pacific Northwest, our patrol beats can stretch hundreds of miles in all directions.<\/p>\n<p>These locales, however, present unique challenges that come with providing law enforcement and public safety services to the remote communities that populate Indian Country. There is no disputing that these geographically dispersed communities, which are afflicted with higher-than-average levels of unemployment, crime, and substance abuse problems, provide us with significant challenges to ensuring the tribal public&#8217;s safety. OJS has employed some creative initiatives to address these challenges and help tribal governments create safe communities.<\/p>\n<p>In 2010, OJS began implementing a presidential effort known as the High Priority Performance Goal (HPPG) Safe Indian Communities Initiative to reduce violent crime in Indian Country. Based upon an analysis report that showed violent crime rates in tribal communities above the national average, the four following reservations were selected as sites for implementing the initiative:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Standing Rock Sioux Reservation, North and South Dakota<\/li>\n<li>The Wind River Reservation, Wyoming<\/li>\n<li>The Rocky Boy&#8217;s Reservation, Montana<\/li>\n<li>The Mescalero Reservation, New Mexico<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The goal of the initiative was to achieve an overall reduction in criminal offenses (violent crime) by 5 percent within a 24-month period. To accomplish this goal at the four reservations, a comprehensive approach involving intelligence-led policing, traditional community policing techniques, creative crime reduction strategies, and interagency and intergovernmental partnerships was developed and implemented.<\/p>\n<p>The report also identified a lack of adequate law enforcement staffing at these locations as a major challenge to reducing violent crime rates. To close the gap between U.S. sworn staffing level averages and actual staffing levels at these four HPPG locations, increased funding was made available for hiring additional law enforcement and corrections officers.<\/p>\n<p>The initiative&#8217;s multifaceted approach to crime reduction relied on<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>adequate staffing and resources;<\/li>\n<li>tribal leadership engagement (leading from the front);<\/li>\n<li>community involvement;<\/li>\n<li>accurate analysis of current and historic community crime data and trends;<\/li>\n<li>intelligence-based law enforcement assignments and proactive operations; and<\/li>\n<li>creative crime prevention strategies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Properly applying these fundamental principles of law enforcement proved necessary to effectively reduce criminal activity and, when applied to the four HPPG sites, led to a 35 percent reduction in violent crime overall and an improved quality of life for their residents.<\/p>\n<p>The success of our Violent Crime Reduction Strategy gave us the opportunity to implement a Recidivism Reduction Initiative. Locally, recidivism creates a huge drain on already overtaxed tribal economies\u2014individuals who are repeat offenders and become incarcerated not only fill court dockets, but, in many cases, are primary breadwinners removed from their homes.<\/p>\n<p>We have selected three American Indian reservations where we plan to implement the Recidivism Reduction Initiative, with the goal of reducing recidivism at the following sites by 3 percent by September 30, 2015:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Red Lake Reservation, Minnesota<\/li>\n<li>The Ute Mountain Reservation, Colorado<\/li>\n<li>The Duck Valley Reservation, Nevada<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We believe that by implementing a comprehensive strategy involving alternative courts, increased treatment opportunities, probation programs, and critical interagency and inter-governmental partnerships between U.S. tribal, state, and federal stakeholders, we and our tribal partners will succeed in reducing recidivism on these reservations.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, we believe this proposed Recidivism Reduction Initiative will be accomplished through the development of a comprehensive alternatives to incarceration plan to work with tribal governments, courts, and communities to develop treatment options.<\/p>\n<p>We at BIA-OJS remain deeply committed to our mission of protecting lives in Indian Country and to the idea that safe tribal communities are vital to ensuring strong tribal sovereignty.&#x2666;<\/p>\n<p><b>Note:<\/b><br \/>\n<sup>1<\/sup>U.S. Office of Indian Affairs, <a href=\"http:\/\/digital.library.wisc.edu\/1711.dl\/History.AnnRep69\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i>Annual Report of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, for the Year 1869<\/i> <\/a>(Washington, D.C.: GPO, 1869), (accessed October 21, 2014).<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Please cite as:<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: .5in;\">Darren Cruzan, &#8220;The U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs: Working with Tribal Partners to Reduce Crime and Recidivism on American Indian Reservations,&#8221; From the Director, <i>The Police Chief<\/i> 81 (November 2014): 20\u201321.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With those words, Thomas Lightfoot, U.S. Indian Agent to the Iowa and the Sac and Fox American Indian tribes in Nebraska, became the first officer to report to a federal American Indian police agency.
