Scott feels that it was a job which someone had to do even th o u g h th e re have been moments when it was difficult to find rewards for having remained in law enforcement. Scott started his career with the Tribe in 1956 as a game o f f ic e r . H e w as la t e r transferred to a deputy position for the police department and four years later was promoted to assistant chief of police, a position he held for three years. Scott assumed the chief of police responsibilities for a year and a half and in 1973 he became the Tribal investigator. As investigator it is Scott’s re sp o n sib ility to do all investigations as a representa tive for the Tribe. S c o t t s a y s th e la w e n fo rc e m e n t fie ld h as undergone m any changes during the past 25 years. He said that in 1956, there were no more than five in the police department with an annual budget of $25,000. Now that same department has over 40 employees and a six-figure annual budget. The depart mental changes have accomo dated community growth and th e t r i b a l g o v e r n m e n t structure. When asked if he would do it all over again if given the chance, S cott replied, “ I suppose I would. It is hard to follow a law enforcement Ray Scott—25 years career.” It is not a job in which a person can expect to always be in favor of all the people all of the time. For his long years of service with Tribe, Scott received a gold wrist watch inscribed with the Tribe’s three-tepee logo and set with two diamonds and one emerald. The watch is still in its box, and as Scott puts it, “I still using my Mickey until breaks down and then I will my new watch.” Dedication and loyalty words to describe Scott—1 qualities that make all difference between a career; a job.
