DISCUSSION:
The County of Humboldt, the Sheriff of Humboldt County and the Blue Lake Rancheria have utilized cooperative agreements between the County of Humboldt, the elected Sheriff and the Blue Lake Rancheria for the enhancement of public safety services within the boundaries of the Blue Lake Rancheria, These cooperative agreements have been valued by all parties in order to increase law enforcement resources on the Blue Lake Rancheria and to enhance appropriate enforcement of state laws pursuant to Public Law 280.
Because of the unique culture and history of the Blue Lake Rancheria, the geographic location of the Blue Lake Rancheria, and the structure of tribal and federal Indian laws within the exterior boundaries of the Blue Lake Rancheria, implementation of this agreement would greatly enhance law enforcement on the Rancheria.
