Chief Sneed: Updating the Police Commission

Since 2009 the tribe has worked with an officially authorized Police Commission to be an impartial board with the oversight responsibility for law enforcement operations on our lands. The Police Commission provides oversight for the Cherokee Police Department, the Alcohol Law Enforcement department, the Natural Resources Enforcement Office, and the Cherokee Animal Control department. The Commission is comprised of members who represent different communities and two at large members all of whom are nominated by the Executive Office and approved by Tribal Council.

The Police Commission is accountable for enacting policy, rules, and regulations for governance of law enforcement functions and that duty includes providing supervision responsibilities for law enforcement personnel. The Police Commission also has budget responsibility. These functions are critical to our community.
