🚔Navajo Police Department's Cross Commission Training.🚔
The first Navajo Cross Commissioned Officers from the Hopi Law Enforcement Services, Officer E. Takala and Officer P. Bitsoi. The Hopi Tribe recently entered into a mutual aid agreement with the Navajo Nation to provide law enforcement and public safety assistance to each other. This agreement ensures that when a request is made from one jurisdiction to another for assistance that each will provide assistance. "With the agreement and now this training, we have a force multiplier and can better work with our partners at the Navajo Police Department in providing law enforcement services and public safety to improve the quality of life for both the Hopi Tribe and Navajo Nation", says HLES Chief Crabtree.
