*PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT*

June 11, 2026, was a significant and productive day for Three Affiliated Tribes Law Enforcement Services as we continued to strengthen partnerships and enhance public safety throughout the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara Nation.

We are proud to announce that the Mountrail County Sheriff’s Office and Three Affiliated Tribes Law Enforcement Services officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). This agreement has been many years in the making and represents a major step forward in strengthening public safety through cooperation and mutual support. We want to assure our communities that this MOU does not affect the sovereignty of the MHA Nation. Instead, it provides a framework for collaboration as we address the unique public safety challenges that have emerged since the Bakken oil boom and the growth and diversity of our population. Now more than ever, strong partnerships with our state and local counterparts are essential to keeping our communities safe.

We would also like to extend our sincere gratitude to ConocoPhillips for their generous $50,000 grant donation to our Joint Special Operations Team (JSOT). JSOT is a specialized response team made up of members from Three Affiliated Tribes Law Enforcement Services, MHA Drug Enforcement, the McLean County Sheriff’s Office, and the McHenry County Sheriff’s Office. This funding will help support training, equipment, and operational readiness, ensuring the team remains prepared to respond to critical incidents and protect the communities we serve.

We appreciate the continued support of our partners, community members, and Tribal Business Council as we work together to build a safer future for all.

The Three Affiliated Tribes Law Enforcement Services is proud to participate in the “Click It or Ticket” campaign May 11-30, 2026. Our goal is to help keep our community, families, and travelers safe on the roadways.

Wearing your seatbelt is one of the simplest and most effective ways to protect yourself and others in the event of a crash. Whether you are traveling across town or across the state, make safety your priority every time you get in a vehicle.

Buckle up. Drive responsibly. Put the phone down. Never drive impaired. Together, we can save lives and make our roads safer for everyone.

Click It or Ticket — Every Trip. Every Time.

Travel safe and thank you for doing your part to protect our communities.
