BIA Office of Justice Services


While visiting the National Sheriff's Association (NSA) Winter Conference in Washington, Walter had an opportunity to attend the Indian Affairs Committee and listened in as John Harte, Policy Director, Senate Committee on Indian Affairs discussed the Law and Order Bill sponsored by Senator Dorgan, and the current Stimulus Package. Both hold significant promise for Indian Country public safety, and will require us all to follow closely and offer informed input at critical junctures.

Walter is pictured here with his former colleagues from the BIA Office of Justice Services. The group pictured represent the top management of the organization.

They are a sincere and dedicated group of law enforcement professionals faced with the critical task of ensuring the safety of tribal citizens nationwide.
