- Oneida Nation Police Force
Sep 16 2007, 1 Comment
The Oneida Nation Police force was secretly established in the early 1990’s to supposedly serve the Oneida people. In 1994 the outcast “CEO” led nine of his police into the community cookhouse to assure Territory residents any laws to be made would be enacted only with our input; we were told the police would never be used against us. Despite these promises the Oneida Nation Police, none of whom are native, have become politicized. They have allowed themselves to become involved in illegal surveillance activities, conducted unlawful arrest and conducted forcible entries into our homes.
In 1993, Jerry Schenandoah and Leonard Babcock, two Oneida men, were arrested in two separate incidents for “trespassing” when they entered the Oneida Nation owned Turning Stone Casino to play bingo. When the charges were brought before Verona Town Justice David Reed they were dismissed outright resulting in an effort by the “CEO” to have Reed dismissed from his position.
In 1994 Diane Schenandoah, Matt Jones, and Vickie Halsey walked in and sat down in the longhouse (Our sacred, social and political meeting place). Halbritter pointed at them and ordered the police: “get those people out of here.” They were physically removed from the building by armed Oneida Nation Police.
