The officer slows to make
sure the new casino is safe.
“I think this is going to have
a huge effect on traffic,” he says.
“I ’m curious to see how that
goes. At th e old casino, security
would handle things. But we’re

to be easier to keep folks safe.”
Officers respond to a call
from a woman, known to have
asthma. They take the time to
locate her boyfriend to let him
know that she might need help
at some point in the night.
Dispatch notifies the officers
that a 9-1-1 call has been made.
Someone, is knocking on the
window and the call was cut off.
Patrol unit lights are activated,
and within minutes tribal police
are outside the woman’s home.
Outside their vehicles, they
scour the area surrounding the
house.
Back in the unit, the officer
is grinning. His night is almost
half finished. “Most of our cli
ents don’t want to see us,” he
says. “But you know what? It’s
very nice when we get support
from the community. Someone
will come up to me and say
thanks, and those are the mo

especially touches my heart
when it’s a child that comes up
