Policing in Indian Country is different than the typical policing we see on an everyday basis. The culture, geography, and economy affect how law enforcement officers do their job. For this discussion, you will identify the problems and challenges law enforcement officers face in Indian Country and explain how community policing may be applied to remedy these issues.

In your responses to two of your peers, identify any additional ways community policing may address the problems and challenges in Indian Country stated in their initial post. Explain how to address any downfalls of community policing that they have identified.
