Perceptions of Methamphetamine in Indian Country
Interviews With Service Providers in Ten Western Tribes
Though methamphetamines are the drugs most commonly abused in tribal lands, use of opioids is a growing problem too. So too is alcohol abuse. And the results—lost lives, increased crime, broken homes, and child neglect—are horrific.
~Phil Keith, Director, Office of Community Oriented Policing Services
The Office of Community Orientated Policing Services (COPS) has released a report titled Perceptions of Methamphetamine in Indian Country: Interviews With Service Providers in Ten Western Tribes. The purpose of this study was to determine the nature, extent, and effects of methamphetamine trafficking, distribution, and manufacturing in Indian country. A further goal was to determine what, if any, other illegal drugs or substances posed problems for tribal agencies and the programs and policies that are needed to help solve this complex public safety problem.

The website provides access to reports regarding crime and safety on campus.
The mission of the CICC is to advocate for and support state, local, and tribal law enforcement and homeland security agencies and personnel in their efforts to develop and share criminal intelligence for the promotion of public safety and the security of our nation.
