The Fond du Lac Band of Ojibwe is on its way to becoming the primary police force on its Minnesota reservation.
The tribe's police department has grown from five to 17, including 15 officers, in less than two years. Officers are receiving special training to respond to all sorts of crimes.
Currently, local sheriff's departments handle some law enforcement duties. The tribe is getting its officers state certified in order to take a greater role in policing on the reservation.
