Enforcing Tribal, State, & Federal Laws

We are a twenty-four hour law enforcement agency responsible for enforcement of tribal, state, and federal laws. Our officers are certified by the Arizona Peace Officers Standards & Training Board (AZPOST) and hold a special law enforcement commission (certification) with the Bureau of Indian Affairs – Office of Justice Services. We investigate all tribal, state and federal crimes and present our findings to the tribal, state and federal court jurisdictions as appropriate. We hold a partnership with other tribal, state and federal law enforcement agencies.

We place the utmost emphasis on efficiency and professionalism. Starting with the Chief of Police, our goal is to be a professional police department that is responsive to the needs of the community. We carefully select our employees and hold them to high standards of professionalism and integrity.
