Judge's order states Tribal PD has state law enforcement authority

A court order issued by Mille Lacs County District Court Judge Sarah H. Hennesy on Aug. 17 states Mille Lacs Band Tribal Police have “the power of a law enforcement agency and jurisdiction to enforce the laws of this state in the geographical boundaries of the property held by the United States in trust for the Mille Lacs Band.”

The 12-page order further evaluates the Minnesota Statute 626.90. Judge Hennesy concluded, “under the plain language of the statute then, even without a cooperative agreement, the Mille Lacs Band has the powers of a law enforcement agency and concurrent jurisdictional authority with the Mille Lacs County sheriff if the four requirements are met under the three circumstances listed in paragraph (c).” (See below.)
