my, tncre is still more training to be
completed including the complc
tion of a Field Training Manual
before becoming fully certified. This
takes nine to 1 2 months to be com
pleted on the job.
Three other correction officers
have graduated from the Academy
March 10, 1989 and are back on
the job. They are tribal member
Hone Thomas, married into the
tribe, Dixon Polk and Carla
Bagley. Another tribal member,
Maria Minthorn will be attending
in May along with Romaine Miller.
Fones is very pleased at the
number of Indians employed under
his direction. The breakdown is as
follows: Seven tribal members, three
married into the tribe, one other
Indian and four non-Indians with
one vacancy in the communica
tions area.
The communications office has
four full time employees; Ruth
Womack, a non-Indian; and two
tribal members, Annette Polk and
Crystal Greene. The communica
tions division is shorthanded as
there is one position vacant.
The dispatcher positions are vital
to the Police department. This being
the control center of everything,
they answer the 91 1-PS AP (Public
Safety Answering Point) line, other
incoming lines, radios, dispatch,
do license checks and are the first
person a client comes in contact
with when they enter the police
department. Dispatchers are re
quired to receive training from the
LEDS (Law Enforcement Data
Systems) workbook consisting of
60 percent hands-on training.
