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

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

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

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!
