This $260,106 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance (CFDA 16.596 - Tribal Justice Assistance Program) supports the Lovelock Paiute Tribe in establishing a Probation/Drug Coordinator position within the Lovelock Paiute Tribal Court. The grant aims to institute a mechanism for follow-up on court-ordered adjudication for tribal members and non-tribal members who have violated Lovelock Paiute laws and ordinances. The Probation/Drug Coordinator will be responsible for physically monitoring defendants granted probation or alternative sentencing, conducting court-ordered drug testing, and facilitating monthly drug training programs on the Lovelock Paiute Reservation. This project will enhance the tribal court's alternative sentencing capabilities and support improved public safety and justice services in the Lovelock Paiute community.

The lovelock paiute tribal court currently has no mechanism in its operations that allow follow up on any court ordered adjudication for tribal members and non-tribal members who have violated lovelock paiute laws and ordinances. With this project, the lovelock tribal court intends to institute a sworn probation/drug coordinator to the structure of the lovelock paiute court. Their duties will include physical monitoring of defendants that are granted probation or other alternative sentencing efforts from the courts. This officer will be responsible for court-ordered drug testing and for facilitating monthly drug training in the lovelock paiute reservation area for members and those with adjudicated cases through the lovelock paiute tribal court. This proposal will enhance alternative sentencing measures.
