History Briefs Law"In those days the only officers were the Indian police. Father was Captain of this for several years and received $10.00 per month and had six men under him who received $8.00 and all received rations. Father was supposed to be on duty two days each week but was at the agency most of the time. His helpers only worked one day each week. They policed the dances to keep whiskey out, went after and returned the children to school who ran away. When an Indian had trouble with a tenant, they adjusted this or put the tenant off and adjusted matters between the Indians when they (the Indians) had differences and they would always do what the agent advised. They never had any serious trouble." An excerpt from WPA interview S-149 with Jared Silas Dawson July 1, 1937Click Here for his full WPA interview. |
Wyandotte Nation Tribal Police The Police Department has been busy! As of November 1, 2009, we have a larger police department and area of responsibility. There is no longer a Wyandotte (town) Police Department. The Nation contracted with the town to provide their police services, which includes the Wyandotte Public Schools. We still assume responsibility for the 36 sq. mi. original land grant area, and outlying tribal housing areas, and have cross-commission agreements with the BIA, Ottawa County Sheriff, Eastern Shawnee Police and Fairland Police Department We have added two additional officers, Christopher Bilinski and Kenny Arment (former WPD Chief).
