The bill gives to tribal police officers who meet specified requirements the same powers and duties as sheriffs to enforce State laws and to make arrests of Indian and non-Indian persons. The legislation grants tribal law enforcement agencies and officers the same access to the State criminal identification system that other law enforcement agencies and officers have, provided that the tribe that created the tribal agency agrees that the agency will perform the same duties as other agencies with respect to the system. Under the bill, tribal law enforcement officers may become State certified and may exercise the aforementioned powers if they meet certification requirements and agree to accept the various duties of law enforcement officers specified in State statutes.
