WHAT THE PUBLIC SAFETY DEPARTMENT DOES: The Public Safety Department at LRBOI provides many services to its members and the community. We are a full service organization which is responsible for all law enforcement duties. The department has specialty units aside from the regular patrol responsibilities. We have a detective unit, which conducts investigations on tribal law and federal law violations and a Conservation Enforcement branch for Great Lakes and Inland. These are just a few of the units that are here to help serve the membership and protect the interests of the Little River Band of Ottawa Indians.
