Detective Section

The Detective Section is comprised of just two detectives that are supervised by a Detective Sergeant. Detectives are on-call 24 hours a day, seven days a week to investigate any major incidents that might occur within the Nation. Detectives are required to attend a 3 month Federal Criminal Investigator’s Training Program located in Glynco, Georgia to maintain their position as a Detective. The Detectives are responsible for initiating investigations and following up on cases involving violations of Tribal, State and Federal laws. Detectives make arrests, collect evidence, file reports, testify in court and perform other detailed duties as needed. Detectives ensure that all cases have been investigated and are complete.  Detectives are also responsible for  preparing each of the cases for prosecution in Tribal, State and/or Federal court. The Detectives manage the police department’s evidence and property room, ensuring that all evidence that have been collected as a result of an investigation are submitted to a crime laboratory for drug identification, latent print analysis, questioned documents, DNA, etc. In addition, because the Department is actively involved in community policing, Detectives participate in various community events such as Fun Runs and Walks, School functions and the Citizen’s Police Academy.
