No history[edit]

No historical info at all. Reads like a BIA bureaucrat wrote it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.136.75.169 (talk) 04:30, 1 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to make and account and add relevant information.--Degen Earthfast (talk) 13:48, 28 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If you read the law you clearly see BIA cops do not have "nation wide" authority. Their authority is limited to broadly termed "Indian Country", and if deputized, some non-Indian lands. They do have some authority outside Indian Country if the crime was committed within Indian Country. The person who wrote this sounds like a BIA cop who want their 083 job to be more like an 1811's... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:601:A080:9580:6424:151:C1AE:EED4 (talk) 15:21, 6 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Edit Suggestions[edit]

Page should be relabeled Office of Justice Services. The page now covers Police Correction and Special Agents. 2/3 of those are not police in the traditional sense. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.68.232.27 (talk) 06:59, 11 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
