Hopi Law Enforcement Services

Hopi Resource Enforcement Services (HRES) was created in 1989 through Hopi Tribal Resolution H049-89.  In 1994, through Resolution H-163-94, HRES was reaffirmed as a Law Enforcement entity to enforce Tribal Ordinances and State laws.

HRES oversees the Hopi Sex Offender Registration Tracking (HSORT) office that was established by Hopi Tribal Council Resolution H-049-2012.  HSORT monitors and tracks Hopi and non-Hopi members who were convicted as Sex Offenders at Tribal, State and Federal levels who live, work or go to school on boundaries of the Hopi Indian Reservation.
