Commitment to recruit and train more North Dakota tribal law enforcement
FARGO, N.D. (Valley News Live) – In an effort to combat crime in tribal communities, approval has been given for more officers to be trained for North Dakota’s Bureau of Indian affairs.
At hearings of the Senate Indian Affairs and Interior Appropriations Committees this week, North Dakota Senator John Hoeven pressed BIA Assistant Secretary Bryan Newland on the need for additional law enforcement in Indian Country and secured his support for increasing operations at The Indian Law Enforcement Advanced Training Center (ATC) at Camp Grafton .
“We need to continue to build it, because we need more law enforcement, not only on the reservation, but across the country,” said Sen. John Hoeven.
In 2020, Hoeven secured funding to open the ATC at Camp Grafton to provide law enforcement training options closer to home for BIA officers in the Upper Great Plains.
Camp Grafton delivers training for police officers, criminal investigators, correctional officers, dispatchers, and command staff working in Indian country. Specifically, the ATC at Camp Grafton delivers specialized advanced training in areas such as criminal, narcotics, and missing children’s investigations.
“According to BIA’s most recent data from 2021, 5,429 law enforcement and public safety personal participated in training programs offered at the Camp Grafton ATC and the Indian Police Academy in New Mexico, but over 3,000 training participants, more than half, received training at the ATC. That’s good progress, but we need to do more, and key officials at the Interior Department committed to work with us to train and recruit more law enforcement officials for our tribal communities.”
ATC also offers training in more recent areas of need like school resource officer training and opioid overdose protocols.

Letter: Why do North Dakota Republican politicians fear ethics?
Ethics is a system of moral principles guiding behavior, defining what’s right, wrong, fair, and good for individuals and society, essentially asking, “What should we do?”
A commission is a group of people officially charged with a particular function.
The citizens of North Dakota voted for and passed an Ethics Commission measure. The Ethics Commission has infuriated the North Dakota Republican legislators and North Dakota government in general. (NOTE: Every elected state government official in North Dakota is Republican.) They have denied that any monitoring of ethics is needed.
North Dakota Republicans have done everything possible to make sure the Ethics Commission has virtually no teeth, no say, and remains invisible under constant attack by the Attorney General’s Office.
Why do Go. Armstrong, Attorney General Wrigley and the Republican members of the North Dakota Legislature fear ethics?
