Strengthening Public Safety on Tribal Lands Through Data-Driven Policing and Anti-Human Trafficking Strategies

Policing in tribal communities requires navigating complex jurisdictional landscapes while addressing deeply rooted public safety challenges. This session explores how national data tools—like the Census of Tribal Law Enforcement Agencies (CTLEA)—can empower tribal agencies and their partners to identify emerging threats, including human trafficking. Learn how to enhance investigations, strengthen interagency collaboration, leverage data for strategic planning, and build trust through culturally informed outreach. Attendees will leave with actionable insights and resources, including how to access CRI-TAC support to enhance their agency’s response.
