Snoqualmie Tribe plans to start police department

The Snoqualmie Tribe of Washington is starting its own police department.

The tribe plans to have the force up and running by November 1. That's the day the tribe's first casino will open.

The tribe was recognized through the Bureau of Indian Affairs process in 1999. The tribe has an initial 56-acre reservation that was taken into trust in March 2006.
