Law enforcement in Beltrami County, Minnesota, will have jurisdiction over the parking lot at the new Red Lake Nation casino.
But county deputies won't have authority to enter the $18 million casino itself because it is on trust land. The sheriff department's policy manual contains procedures to inform officers of the tribe's rights.
“Pursuits onto the reservation are no longer allowed,” the manual states, The Bemidji Pioneer reported. “You must terminate the pursuit at the reservation line. If you are pursuing toward Red Lake, notify their dispatcher as soon as is possible and they will send officers, if available.”
The tribe could ask for the parking lot to be placed in trust. The casino is expected to open in December.
