g rin d in g aw ay in th e b a c k
ground, the new tribal Justice
Services A dm inistrator (JSA )
G erald S m ith is busily w orking
a t his new challenge and an x
iously anticipating the day when
W arm S prings’ newest deten
tion facility is com pleted.
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.”
