Ad created by George Valdez Tribe selected for girauntt tto fundi frraiming MCKNIGHT continued from front page activity in the forest, he refers the case to the Yamhill County Sheriffs Office. Crimes in Polk County, at housing or other off-reservation sites, go to the Polk County Sheriff for investigation. The Patrol Officer position is authorized to handle low-level civil cases, but only those that name Tribal members as perpetrators. The Tribe has funded a Forest Patrol Officer position since 1990 when Marce Norwest, an Elder of the Tribe and the previous of ficer, was hired. McKnight started in the position last year and will continue to patrol the Reservation, potentially with added enforcement responsibilities. Those responsibilities could come in two different ways. County sher iffs can cross deputize McKnight following his successful training later this year; or there is a leg islative fix under consideration within the state Legislature that could grant those rights to not just McKnight in Grand Ronde, but to all Oregon Tribes. Development of the new positions began in earnest last year when the Tribe applied to the U.S. Depart ment of Justice for two grants for Tribal justice programs. The Tribe was selected for a $171,923 COPS Tribal Resources Grant for police equipment and training and for a $309,020 Tribal Court Assistance Program for the development of Tribal laws and for upgrading court records systems and personnel, according to Tribal Planning and Grants Manager Kim Rogers. As part of the requirements to obtain COPS Tribal Resources funding, the Tribe created a Law Enforcement Department by reso lution last May. A third grant ap plication was pending at the time that would have provided funding for two officers, but that grant was unsuccessful, said Rogers. The Tribe expects to maintain its relationships with local jurisdic tions, said Wakeland. "This will be a great achieve ment once it's all done," said McKnight.
