Authorities in North Dakota have formed a collaborative effort involving state, tribal, and federal entities to address the issue of illegal drug activity on tribal lands.
"Drug trafficking organizations are not deterred by reservation borders, so our law enforcement efforts must be empowered to protect every inch of our shared geography. Our office has led this initiative with the clear objective of enhancing public safety for all North Dakotans," Wrigley said in a statement.
MHA Nation Tribal Chairman Mark Fox said,"Community safety is our utmost priority. Coming together to protect our communities by combining our tribal law enforcement resources with both state and federal resources is a good thing. This partnership will tremendously enhance our abilities to combat the illegal drug trade that is devastating our nation."
