The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS)
requests clearance to conduct the Census of State and Local Law
Enforcement Agencies Serving Tribal Lands (CSLLEASTL). A gap in our
understanding of justice systems that serve tribal lands is the
work done by state and local law enforcement agencies that have
responsibilities to provide such services due to legislation (e.g.,
Public Law 83-280) or consensual agreements between tribal, state,
and local governments. This undertaking will shed light on the
complexities state and local police face in providing justice
services on tribal lands to individuals of tribal and non-tribal
affiliation.
