Not to be too anal, but you mean VPSO (Village Public Safety Officer), not VSPO. And I believe Wassillie, the victim, was a VPO (Village Police Officer), not a VPSO. There is a big difference. A VPSO goes through state training & is recognized & supervised & paid by the state. There are way more VPOs than VPSOs. VPOs get a lot less training, & none of it is from the state that I know of. VPOs get lower pay, & VPOs are not officially recognized by the state due to the state's  opposition to tribal sovereignty. VPOs are paid & supervised by tribal councils. VPOs have high turnover & are often very young guys. VPSOs are meant to be a career option & have longer term professionals, generally. Both jobs are very tough & involve putting yourself in danger without a gun. High stress & low pay. Lots of alcohol-fueled domestic disputes, sometimes relatives. 

And to #3, yes the booze came from Bethel, the only hub here. The villages all vote to be dry but BET lets it pour in & profits from it.
