The Cherokee Nation is now giving some of the money it collects from traffic tickets back to certain police departments that wrote the tickets.
“…we look across the reservation, we see counties, we see towns who need extra, and we know if they are able to have better equipment and able to maybe make some capital improvements to their infrastructure and other needs, it is good for all of us,” Hoskin said.
The Cherokee Nation signed agreements with 24 cities within the reservation that are getting money back from traffic tickets written by their officers.
