The Columbia River Inter-Tribal Police Department
The Columbia River Inter-Tribal Police Department (CRITPD) is the law enforcement arm of the Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission (CRITFC). CRITFC is a tribal organization wholly owned and governed by four sovereign treaty tribes: the Yakama Nation, the Nez Perce Tribe, the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation, and the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation of Oregon.
CRITFC was formed in 1977 to provide coordination, management, enforcement, and technical services on behalf of the consortium of tribal governments. It assists the member tribes’ efforts to maintain the integrity of the territorial and fishing rights reserved in their 1855 treaties with the United States government.
CRITPD’s primary mission is to provide law enforcement services as a component of the tribes’ rights to self-governance and self-regulation. The enforcement team protects the fishery resource and the tribal members exercising their treaty rights. CRITPD consists of patrol officers, dispatchers, victim advocates, and administrative personnel. Officers are Oregon-certified police and serve as an extension of tribal law enforcement. They hold police commissions from all four CRITFC member tribes, the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs, the State of Oregon, and some counties in Washington State.
Vision Statement
The Columbia River Inter-Tribal Police Department will SERVE to uphold the rights reserved by the treaties of 1855 and the member tribes of the Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission; and will PROTECT the public welfare, property, and the individual rights endowed by the Creator in a manner that is ethical, moral, honest, and honorable; and which promotes the highest standards of the public trust with an emphasis on the positive contributions law enforcement makes in protecting people and tribal resources.

The Columbia River Inter-Tribal Police Department employs professionally trained law enforcement and communications personnel to serve the four Columbia River Treaty Tribes by protecting and regulating treaty fishing, maintaining law and order on the Columbia River, In-Lieu Sites, and Treaty Fishing Access Sites, and protecting cultural resources on the surrounding environs. The Department will coordinate search and rescue efforts consistent with the Search and Rescue Plan as approved by the Commission.
The Department will maintain communication and coordination with the tribal constituency, tribal programs, and tribal policymakers to assure enforcement activities are consistent with tribal objectives and policies.
The Department will also maintain direct involvement in regional enforcement issues and develop professional relationships to promote inter-agency coordination and communications.
