Abstract: The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) requests clearance to conduct the 2019 Census of Tribal Law Enforcement Agencies (CTLEA). The CTLEA is a new statistical collection that will survey all tribal-government-operated law enforcement (LE) agencies in the U.S. Tribal LE agencies have general arrest powers or authority to issue citations established by either tribal governments or the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) within the U.S. Department Interior to enforce the law in Indian country. To better understand the challenges and administration of justice in Indian country, this project will document the administrative and operational characteristics of tribal LE agencies that handle policing functions on tribal lands.
