"Protecting the People of the Tall Pines"

The Hualapai Tribe established the Hualapai Tribal Police Department on July 2002. Tribal leaders and community members stress crime prevention and community policing. They want their police to be proactive. The new police department has 12 sworn law enforcement officer positions, which includes patrol officers, detective, assistant chief and chief of police. Tribal police are responsible for patrol and criminal investigations. The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) provides dispatch and detention services.

When these requirements are met, tribal law enforcement officers have the authority to enforce tribal, state and applicable federal laws, against Indians and non-Indians.

Starting pay for patrol officers is between $33,000 and $40,000 depending on prior training and experience. Benefits include health insurance and participation in the Arizona Public Safety Personnel Retirement System (20-year retirement).
