Officer Introduction Hello, my name is Of ficer Samuel Wolfe; I am 25 years of age, and have been employed with the Warm Springs Police Department for the past two years. I have been with Law Enforce ment for three years, serving with the Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fisher ies Enforcement for a year, then trans ferring to the Warm Springs Police Department in January of 1999. 1 have two children, Devon Wolfe and Karen Wolfe, and one stepdaughter, Jariah Thompson. I am engage to Elizabeth Ardis Smith, with wedding date set for March 1 3, 200 1 . I work as a Patrol Officer with the Warm Springs Police Department, and have completed the Department of Public Safety Standards and Train ing, Basic Police Academy, July-August 1997. My goals as a Patrol Officer are to serve and protect the community, build strong relationships with the younger generation, and the teachers, elders of the community. See a big ger involvement from the community Neighborhood Watch Program, in prevention. On Patrol This is kinda like whoops, like we missed that last issue, and there was so much we were going to bring you readers too. Well, its catch up time and here we go. Back on the afternoon of Mon day, November 6, 2000 there was a report turned in on a missing girl. It was believed that she had walked away from her home with some dogs and had not returned. This turned into a search and rescue operation that evening that went on through the night into the next day. Around noon hour on Tuesday Lt. Miller through Photo unavailable at press time Sam Wolfe tracking skills, had located the miss ing girl along with her dogs. The vic tim had been on a small butte in the upper Tenino valley. Contact was made with her and she was reunited with her father after a short time. The victim was transported to I.H.S. from the scene. We are starting into the Holiday seasons this month, and the weather is turning colder so there are some things drivers need to be conscious of when going here and there. Be alert for icy spots and slick roads. Remember there will be a longer dis tance needed for making a stop, think safe, drive safe. And remember to check your tires, get your tractions tires or studded tires mounted. Dig out those tire chains and check them for any damages done last year (this is much easier to do at home then out on the road when you need the chains to get going), then check your chain binders too. You should also have in your car some road flares, a blanket or two, some dry type food or candy, a flashlight with spare batteries, and whatever other items you might need in an emergency. It is much better to be prepared if you get into a bad time on the road then to need something and not have it. These are things you can do to better enjoy holiday travel ing.

If you travel, make sure you take some warm cloths, coats, a blanket, snow tire chains, a small shovel, and some snacks Questions answered by Investigations wellness for men Recently, the department along with the investigation division at tended a justice team training session at I lei le and has made several pre sentations to the Citizens Police Academy regarding criminal investi gations. During these sessions, I have re ceived several questions regarding federal prosecution. Some of the questions asked were: 1) Who deter mine; if f ".nse will po federal, 2) Wlv -nii 1 t. !"dcralcu:- , 3) If a cusv i prosecuted in tribal court can it still be prosecuted in federal court. When we have a crime that is committed and we know that the crime is in violation of federal law, then we immediately notify the Fed eral Bureau of Investigation in Bend and the. U.S. Attorney's Office in Portland. Once we make our notifi cations, then we conduct a conference call with all parties including myself and go over the case to determine if we do have a federal violation. If it is determined that the crime is in viola tion of federal law then we pursue the case federally. So, all parties that have jurisdiction make the decision to gether. The criteria that we follow, de pends on the crime that has been com mitted. Forexample: Murder: Title 18 Sec. 111. In this case, first we have to determine if we have jurisdiction, then we determine that the victim is an Indian, and then we determine if the crime falls within the elements of the federal statue, which states: Murder is the unlawful killing of a human being with malice afore thought. Every Murder perpetrated by poison, lying in wait, or any other kind of willful, deliberate, malicious, and pre meditated killing; or committed in the perpetration of, or attempt to perpe trate, any arson, escape, murder, kid napping, treason, espionage, sabo tage, aggravated sexual abuse or sexual abuse, burglary, or robbery; or perpetrated from a premeditated de sign unlawfully and maliciously to effect the death of any human being other than him who is killed, is mur der in the first degree. Once this has been' established then we have a case for federal pros- . ecution. When we have a case that is pros ecuted in tribal court and we do have a violation of federal law resulting in the same case, then we can pursue the case in federal court at the same time or when the tribal proceedings have been concluded. I have covered a basic part of federal investigations, if there are more questions or would like other aspects of criminal investigations Warm Springs Health & Wellness Center shares good news Quality Laboratory Services Warm Springs Health and Wellness Center Laboratory has met all criteria for Laboratory Accredita tion by COLA, a national healthcare accreditation organization.

Healthy tip of the day: It has often been said that laugh ter is the best medicine, and studies have shown this to be true. Laughter is good for us. It causes our vital or gans to get a good massage by the diaphragm, allowing our systems to function at a more optimal level keeping our blood pressure and heart rate under control. Laughter can keep us young and allow us to keep the stressors in the world in proper perspective. If you're able to laugh at yourself, you may not take yourself or life seriously. This can really help with your self-esteem and increase your personal effective ness. It is estimated that children laugh hundreds of times day, but the aver age adult laughs fewer than 15 times a day. So go to a comedy club or hang out with fun friends. Rent a funny movie and laugh. Don!t take life so seriously. Enjoy! covered, do not hesitate to call.
