W ith the new detention facil ity due fo r com pletion in Sep tem ber, 1985, Sm ith and the entire police departm ent will “have to get their hom ew ork done before we move in .” It'is planned to have eaCh d ep art ment m em ber look over the building plans, determ ine needs and make recom m endations. , ... The position of JS A is rela tively new. Two non-Indians have held the position since its inception in 1981. They “were trained specifically in this field,” says Sm ith. “T h at puts the odds against me. I love the odds— and the challenge.’’Sm ith stated th at he has very little knowledge in law enforcem ent. “I know m ore ab o u t w hat y o u ’re not supposed to do. I ’m very opto- mistic, very open, objective and learning ab o u t past practices com pared to the p resen t.” His degree in business adm inistra tion, says Sm ith does apply to th e JS A position; it helps iri ¿dealing with personnel, m an agem ent of hum an and finan cial resources and all-aroundL departm ent organization. H e’s w orking on im proving w hatever the com m unity needs. “ My success depends on com munity feelings. They’re the first to know — we’re w orking fo r the 'C om m unity.” S m ith added th a t success is n o t dependent solely on him. “ I t’s everybody getting together and working as a team .” Sm ith is presently involved in w orking on an eight week work plan. His first Week on the jo b was spent reviewing all docu m ents o f the previous JS As and orienting him self with his"' new departm eht to gather input and recom m endations. H opefully, this will im prove their w ork, the individuals and the departm ents as whole. “We have a healthy challenge ahead of us.” Sm ith continued, stating th a t “results Won’t hap pen overnight—b u t it w on’t take as long as some people may th ink.” Follow ing high school gra duatio n in 1967, S m ith spent 13 years on “the outside” attending college, where he attained a degree iri business adm inistra tion. and w orking at various jobs. In 1980, Sm ith came home. He w orked nearly four years fo r the B ureau a s A dm inistrative ’Officer providing adm inistrative support services. S m ith sta te d th a t th e d e partm ent has a n open-door pol icy. “We welcome com m ents from th e com m unity. We need to address the concerns of the com m unity, But we need to know the facts.” “If I succeed,” says Sm ith, “it will open a lot of doors for tri bal m em bers. I ’m going to do everything I can to be success ful.” , p o s itio n .
