Prosecution
The NICS prosecutors work closely with tribal law enforcement officers and tribal officials to ensure adequate representation for the tribe in tribal courts.
The NICS Prosecutor's Department currently consists of two full-time prosecutors a full time paralegal and a full time paralegal's assistant. Their duties encompass the prosecution of all tribal criminal laws; prosecution of hunting, fishing, and shell-fishing matters, whether civil or criminal in nature; and representation of member tribes in Indian Child Welfare (ICW) matters, including dependencies (abuse and neglect cases), guardianships and adoptions in both tribal and state courts.
