Hunter Safety Education provides gun safety, an overview of hunting laws (both state and tribal), general hunting practices and other topics at the request of participants.

Funeral Escorts:  The Tribal Police Department conducts funeral escorts within the Reservation boundaries whenever requested as a service to the community and the citizens of the Reservation. Funeral escorts are requested by and scheduled through funeral homes, religious leaders, and or family members. Two types of funeral escorts may be requested and conducted. First, police department personnel may lead/escort the funeral procession from the funeral home or church to the burial grounds. Second, police department personnel may block off intersections from the route of the funeral procession without assisting with the actual escort. It should be noted that department personnel could also provide a mixture of both types of funeral escorts. If you would like to request a funeral escort to be conducted within the Reservation boundaries please contact Cherie Jim at 785.966.6672, Deputy Chief/Captain Terry Clark at 785.966.6660, or dispatch at 785.966.3024 for scheduling.
