community Events

The Colville Tribal Police Department is dedicated to building community partnerships with residents, business owners, and those who visit the reservation. Crime prevention is best achieved by partnerships between the community and the police department. Citizens taking ownership of their neighborhood combined with direct action can improve the quality of life for the citizens of the reservation.
