On Patrol
By Don Courtney, Warm
Springs Police Department
Gunshots lead to pursuit v
resulting in arrest
Two adult males were arrested
following several police chases over
a 24-hour period. What started out as
a drinking episode on Friday, January
10, 1997, ended in shots being fired
at a house in the West Hills housing
district.
Following up on the initial report,
a vehicle pursuit then took place
which led to gunshots being fired at
the pursuing officer. The suspect
vehicle which earlier eluded police
was spotted again that led to a second
vehicle pursuit. The suspect vehicle
was then chased for some time before
it stopped on U.S. Highway 26 near
milepost 99. A foot pursuit followed
a short distance where a suspect was
arrested. The second suspect was later
located and arrested.
Both subjects arrested face
numerous charges locally of
Discharge of a Weapon, Assault on a
Police Officer, Flee Attempt to Elude,
Aiding & Abetting, Reckless Driving,
and Reckless Endangering. Each
charge has a possibility of up to a
year in jail and or up to a $5,000 fine.
Trial has been set for next month.
Continuing investigation shows
that one other suspect arrest is
pending.
In Brief
Early month statistics show no
sign of relief for the patrol division
as the number of reports continue to
be generated faster than can be
handled.
Domestic disturbance's continue
to lead the pack as 17 complaints
were reported that resulted in the
arrest of 15 people.
In the area of Break & Entering,
several business' were hit hard over
the weekend of January 17-19. Legal
Aid, the WEDD wood shed area, the

McGruff Speaks
My motto, "Take a bit out of
Crime." These few words over the
years can help assist our community
or you as an individual not becoming
a victim to the senseless acts of those
who commit them.
Break & Entering, Theft, Stolen
Vehicle, Assault & Battery, Child
Crimes, vandalism, etc., where each
act requires a sense of awareness of
those things happening in and around
your home, neighborhood, or place
of work.
If you see something occurring
that you know is wrong, report it.
These senseless acts cost our
community thousands of dollars each
year in the attempt to replace or fix
things that were done to us or our
community as victims.
These dollar amounts do not
include those acts committed against
individual victims where no dollar
amount can be placed on trying to fix
something such as emotions or one's
mental health.

sure they are still where you put
them. Are they safe and secure?
Against personal attack. . . think
smart and be safe.
Home. . . Lighting, walkways,
doors and windows; are they secure?
Vehicle thefts. . . alarm systems to
the doors being secure. Are the items
of value marked with appropriate
serial numbers oridentification? Are
they recorded somewhere?
We must as a community hold
those individuals committing these
acts responsible for their actions.
Each and every one of us as members
of this community in one way or
another ultimately end up paying for
the wrongs done in our community.
Abuse or Discipline?
What is Child Abuse? One
definition can be defined as the act of
inflicting harm to a child by means
beyond that of normal discipline.
The Warm Springs Tribal Code
(WSTC 305.135) defines Child
Abuse as: Section (1) For the
purposes of this section, child abuse
shall be defined as any physical inj ury
to a child which has been caused by
other than accidental means,
including any injury which appears
to be at variance with the explanation
given of the injury; or, neglect which
threatens the health, safety, and
welfare of a child or which leads to
physical or mental harm. (2) For the
purposes of this section, the'foregoing
definition shall not include the good
faith treatment of a child by spiritual
means in accordance with tenants
and practices of traditional Indian
religion or good faith parental,
teacher, or custodial discipline. (3)
Any Indian who shall abuse a child
as defined in this section shall be
deemed guilty of child abuse.
Example: A child makes the claim
of abuse by a parent. The child runs
to an authority figure claiming abuse.
The child got slapped by a parent for
something the child said to this parent.
Meeting!
To discuss the High School
Graduation Party
February 6, 1997, at 7:30
p.m. in the High School
Library
All parents of high school
seniors invited.
What exactly was said? Based on
what some of the things that are said
to parents today, would my parents
have slapped me also for saying such
things? A lack of respect? Abuse?
Example: A child who is out of
control at home who constantly runs
away, gets in trouble with law
enforcement, is having behavior
problems in school. The child gets
spanked after other means failed to
correct unacceptable behavior. Do
we have a case of abuse? To what
degree did the child get spanked?
With what did the child get spanked
with? Hand, paddle, stick, wire
clothes hanger? Was this act of
discipline within normal practices of
administering discipline in the past
by this parent. Was the parent in
control at the time discipline was
administered or was there a total loss
of control where the discipline
administered went beyond the scope?
What are your current household
rules of discipline? Does each
member of the household understand
the rules and consequences of
breaking these rules? Who is the
administrator of discipline? Is this a
shared responsibility between both
parents, guardians, or maybe
grandparents? Is the continued
breaking of rules through a
progressive process. Are they fitting
to the rule broken? Is the discipline
being administered really doing any
good or are there other alternatives
that can be looked at?
One alternative; Concentrate on
the positive attitude or things that are
done right in your household by it's
members. Ultimately if it's a bad
behavior that gets the attention by
you as a parent; think about all the
good positive attention that you can
give for good behavior. Praise your
child often for things done right. The
chores, grades, social outings, etc.
Practive good parenting skills and be
at peace with your children or
tcenacer.
