Santee Sioux Nation Tribal Police Department

Santee Sioux Nation Tribal Police Department handles law enforcement for the Santee Sioux Nation in Knox County, Nebraska. Its area of responsibility is every parcel of land inside the boundaries of the Santee Sioux Reservation, including the village of Santee, so incidents that happen on reservation land are routed to this department rather than to a city police force. The police department is one of the tribal government's own programs and works alongside other tribal services such as the Tribal Court and the Santee Village Volunteer Fire Department. The tribe's program directory lists Robert Henry as the contact for the department. For routine police business on the reservation, call (402) 857-2527 or email [email protected]; both are published by the tribe for its police department. Dial 911 for any emergency. People looking for other tribal offices, such as enrollment or Head Start, should use the separate numbers the tribe lists for those programs instead of the police line.
