Bylas Curfew Lifts: Tribal Police Seek Funding for Safety

The two-week nighttime curfew in Bylas, a town on the San Carlos Apache Reservation, ends on March twenty-ninth. The curfew, implemented after three murders, helped police maintain presence and reassure residents. However, the community still faces safety concerns due to limited resources. The tribal police force, with only thirty officers for one point eight million acres and fifteen thousand members, struggles with drug and alcohol-related issues. Chief Elliot Sneezy emphasizes the need for additional funding to hire help, acquire gear, and build a local nine-one-one system. As the curfew lifts, officials encourage residents to report tips safely, promising improved resources and community ties to ensure long-term safety.
