“Today’s report highlights what so many of us at the Department are working to address – the resource and capacity challenges faced by tribal law enforcement in their communities. Many of these issues were raised during the Department’s Tribal Nations Listening Session with the Attorney General. We will continue to work with our tribal partners to address these issues and improve public safety in Indian Country.”
