3 (1) the Tribal Law and Order Act of 2010 (25 

4 U.S.C. 2801 note; Public Law 111–211) was en5 acted to enhance law enforcement services, encour6 age interagency cooperation, and improve Federal

1 nal matters submitted for prosecution were declined, 

2 a percentage that has not decreased significantly 

3 since the date of enactment of the Tribal Law and 

4 Order Act of 2010 (25 U.S.C. 2801 note; Public 

5 Law 111–211) and has remained fairly steady; 

6 (4) drug and alcohol abuse is a key contributing 

7 factor to violence and crime in Indian communities; 

8 (5) substance abuse prevention and treatment, 

9 including detention-based treatment, are critical to 

10 reducing the rates of recidivism in Indian commu11 nities; 

12 (6) during the period beginning in 2010 and 

13 ending on the date of enactment of this Act, the 

14 number of law enforcement officers working on pub15 lic safety in Indian country has slightly increased, 

16 but according to the Bureau of Indian Affairs, only 

17 approximately 43 percent of the total need for those 

18 officers is currently being met; 

19 (7) for a period of more than 40 years prior to 

20 the date of enactment of this Act, the Shadow 

21 Wolves, a special unit of tactical officers of the U.S. 

22 Immigration and Customs Enforcement, have been 

23 deployed throughout the Tohono O’odham Nation 

24 reservation in Arizona and have been operating in 

25 an area—

1 (A) of more than 5,000 square miles of

3 square miles of which is an area located along 

4 the United States border with Mexico; 

5 (B) in which approximately 28,000 Indians 

6 reside; and 

7 (C) that has been targeted by criminal or8 ganizations for use as a major corridor to de9 liver contraband from Mexico to locations 

10 throughout the United States, including other 

11 Indian reservations; 

12 (8) many Bureau of Indian Affairs and tribal 

13 detention facilities continue to operate in over14 crowded conditions; 

15 (9) tribes continue to encounter barriers to ac16 cessing and entering information into national crime 

17 information databases for criminal and civil pur18 poses and additional options are needed to ensure 

19 Indian tribes can fully participate in the 2-way shar20 ing of criminal justice information so that all tribal 

21 justice and public safety agencies have access to the 

22 data needed to keep their communities safe; 

23 (10) American Indian and Alaska Native juve24 niles are overrepresented in Federal and State juve25 nile justice systems;

•S 1953 IS

1 (11) there is a lack of training (including trau2 ma-informed training and practices), collaboration, 

3 communication, and cooperation among government 

4 agencies regarding juvenile justice for Indian youth; 

5 (12) tribal youth in the Federal justice sys6 tem— 

7 (A) may spend more time in secure con8 finement than youth in State justice systems, 

9 sometimes by several years; and 

10 (B) may be placed in facilities located far 

11 away from the communities and families of the 

12 tribal youth; and 

13 (13) appropriate services for tribal youth in the
