The once labeled group of individuals called "Security", is one of the oldest service providing section or department on the Sac and Fox Nation Tribal Grounds, now up-graded and named the Capitol Police in 2003, safeguards life and property of the Sac and Fox Nation against violators and violations of law, maintaining efficient security and police services through mandatory training and being knowledgeable of all laws, policy and procedures.

Before most office structures on the Sac and Fox Nation Reservation were built, different tribal members performed security efforts in safeguarding property and person living within the community of Sac and Fox, which years before had residences and streets exactly where most of the buildings stand in the vicinity of the administrative building today.

The today Capitol Police Department has 4 employees, which are made up of - 1 supervisor and 3 patrol officers and is under the supervision of the Sac and Fox Nation Police Department, which the Chief of Police has directorship. Before 2003, most officers/employees were not trained sufficiently in the area of police/security duties, but did attend yearly firearms certification training. Today the Nation deems it necessary to train all individuals applying for employment with the Sac and Fox Capitol Police Section/Department - so that general knowledge of methods and objectives of security and police work are adhered to, through appropriate training.

The Capitol Police Section/Department performs duties such as:

* Enforces tribal, state, and federal criminal laws, regulations, procedures and their amendments.
* Patrols buildings and tribal grounds, examining building entrance doors and windows to determine security, checking electrical office equipment, appliances and lights in offices, which were left on - this to help prevent fires and preserve energy.
