The Tribe is proposing revisions to Tribal Governance, Title 50, to authorize Probation Officers to carry a sidearm in the performance of their duties if they meet certain requirements. When a probation agent is in the field there may arise safety concerns for the public that may be diffused with a show of force. In order that the appropriately trained probation officer can act to protect the public and him or herself this revision is proposed.
The Tribe is placing the proposed Tribal Code amendments to Title 50 in their entirety, out for a thirty (30) day comment period.
Copies of the proposed amendments are available for review on the Tribal Records Dept Facebook page, on the website at: www.tmchippewa.com, or can be obtained in writing by request. Written comments can be made in the comment section at https://tmchippewa.com/tribal-records/and can also be submitted by mail to PO Box 900, Belcourt, ND 58316 or by fax at 477-0916. Please
