NOTE: This criminal jurisdictional breakdown is a result of 18 United States (U.S.) Code § 1162 (commonly known as Public Law 280 [herein “PL 280”]) and federal case law. Under PL 280, state criminal laws (county and city ordinances do not apply) have the same force and effect on Indian reservations and rancherias as they have elsewhere in the state.

If a crime has been committed, the officer can either transport the person to state law enforcement authorities or detain the person so that state law enforcement can take custody
