Taos Pueblo Faces Jurisdiction and Crime Code Gaps
The Taos News notes jurisdiction questions on tribal land where tribal courts handle most crimes but federal and off-reservation agencies step in for certain felonies. A new chief of law enforcement, May, did not respond to requests for comment. A lack of staff, funds, and juvenile detention options strains conventional courts. The Taos Pueblo Community Wellness Council formed from the 1995 Substance Abuse Task Force aims to strengthen tribal codes and establish cooperation between tribal and conventional courts, prioritizing prevention.
