We assist in providing additional coverage to them while on calls for service to include, traffic control off the reservation, arrest situations, and handling persons in-custody. The Tribal Police Department has a good rapport with outside law enforcement agencies. It is manned by a Public Safety Officer 24 hours a day. Persons wanting to visit the business offices and/or tribal residents must check-in before entering.
A tribal check point was established for those wishing to enter the business and residential areas of the reservation. Tribal Police officers patrol the reservation and respond to calls for service 7 days a week 24 hours a day. Chief William Denke oversees an experienced staff of 18 full-time officers.
The department enforces tribal ordinances and state law and works with other law enforcement agencies to maintain a safe environment on the Sycuan Reservation. Sycuan provides for the safety and welfare of its tribal residents and patrons of tribal businesses, including the casino through operating its own Tribal Police Department.
