The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) requests clearance to conduct the Census of State and Local Law Enforcement Agencies Serving Tribal Lands (CSLLEASTL). A gap in our understanding of justice systems that serve tribal lands is the work done by state and local law enforcement agencies that have responsibilities to provide such services due to legislation (e.g., Public Law 83-280) or consensual agreements between tribal, state, and local governments. This undertaking will shed light on the complexities state and local police face in providing justice services on tribal lands to individuals of tribal and non-tribal affiliation.
