NHA agrees to house cops on Navajo Nation
The Navajo Department of Law Enforcement and the Navajo Housing Authority reached a deal to station uniformed officers in selected NHA subdivisions. Officers will live in government housing in concentrated areas to boost visibility and community policing, with later potential for detectives. The plan covers four hours weekly per officer unit, with the department paying $1 per unit annually.

New Year Changes Reach Navajo Hopi Areas
WINDOW ROCK Coconino Apache and Navajo counties begin 2000 with funding shifts affecting Navajo and Hopi communities. Coconino approves Oct 31 extension for a 115000 Black Grant to back a Tuba City library project, aided by about 223000 in other commitments. Delays stem from high bid costs after two solicitations. Allocation updates include 8500 for Tuba City Senior Citizens Center furniture, 2325 toward Toys for Tots, and 1000 for the Western Junior Rodeo Association year end banquet, as county leaders push community initiatives.
