Crow Tribe ends MOA for police protection services, operating its own police department

CROW AGENCY- The Memorandum of Agreement for police protection services for the Crow Indian Reservation was ended after Chairman Alvin Not Afraid Jr., of the Crow Tribe, issued a notice to Charlie Addington, Bureau of Indian Affairs, Director for Office of Justice Services in Washington DC.

“I want to lead the Crow Tribe’s very own Police Department because I believe the Crow People and residents of the Crow Indian Reservation deserve better, the Crow Tribe no longer seeks to lead the nation in missing and murdered indigenous people and the Crow Tribe no will longer allow drug and human trafficking cases to go unprosecuted and uninvestigated,” Chairman Not Afraid said in a release.

A P.L. 93-638 Contract Proposal to assume all BIA-Office of Justice police protection services for the Crow Indian Reservation was submitted by the Crow Tribe in January 2020.
