Show Notes
Rio Arriba County Sheriff Lorenzo Aguilar has formed a new task force with six Ohkay Owingeh tribe officers to combat drug trafficking and crime. This collaboration, supported by Governor Michelle Lujan Grishams emergency order, allows tribal officers to join county operations and make arrests on tribal land for non-Native suspects with county warrants. The partnership aims to bridge gaps between county and tribal areas. While generally well-received, the initiative has faced criticism regarding liability and past legal issues. The contract focuses on joint drug busts and requires state law training for officers. The governor plans to extend the order, adding more funding as overdose visits decrease and warrant arrests increase.
