Dating back to the Homeland, the Chickasaw people have always had a system of justice in place. Once removed to Indian Territory, the Chickasaw Nation created the elite mounted Lighthorse Police to serve and protect their citizens. Today, the mission of the Chickasaw Nation Lighthorse Police Department remains the same: to protect the lives and property of the people they serve with honor and integrity while working in partnership with American Indian and non-Native communities to enhance their quality of life.
