The Coeur d’Alene Indian Tribe has posted the following plea (w/contact information for legislators) on its Web site re: House Bill 500: “Support the House Bill No. 500, the State and Indian Tribal Cooperative Law Enforcement Act, which encourages much needed cooperative law enforcement agreements between Idaho Indian Tribes and Counties. If a tribe and county are unable to reach an agreement, this law will allow Idaho POST-certified police officers working for an Indian Tribe to enforce state laws against anyone breaking them within reservation boundaries.”

Question: Do you planned to get involved in this issue?
