About
Mdewakanton Public Safety serves the SMSC and surrounding communities in the form of Fire and Emergency Services and Conservation and Enforcement. As a sovereign nation, the SMSC maintains a full-time, professional fire and ambulance department—serving the SMSC staff, and guests, as well as coordinating with neighboring governments, including the cities of Shakopee and Prior Lake. Meanwhile, Conservation and Enforcement upholds conservation laws—both state and tribal—on SMSC lands, educates people about these laws, and cites violators.
