Policing Along Side Native Americans

Policing Along Side Native Americans

As stated in your text there are about 566 federally recognized  tribal governments within the United States. They are viewed by the  United States government as “domestic dependent nations” and retain  inherent powers of self government.

Along with reading your text go to www.bia.gov/FAQs/index.htm and learn more about Native American tribes.

For this assignment assume that you are a new chief of police  or sheriff in an area adjacent to a large tribal area. In a 5 to 7 page  APA formatted paper described the challenges you would face in policing  along side Native Americans.

Be specific about the issues faced in law enforcement by Native  Americans and how those issues extend outside of their recognized  boundaries and vice versa.

Look back over each week of the course and draw from the  lessons learned about multicultural policing and apply as many  principles and strategies as you can to this scenario.
