Indian Territory Police Badge

The United States Indian Police (USIP) were organized in 1880 by John Q. Tufts the Indian Commissioner in Muskogee, Indian Territory, to police the Five Civilized Tribes. The USIP recruited many of their police officers from the ranks of the existing Indian Lighthorsemen. Unlike the Lighthorse who were under the direction of the individual tribe, the USIP was under the direction of the Indian agent assigned to the Union Agency. Many of the US Indian police officers were given Deputy U.S. Marshal commissions that allowed them to cross jurisdictional boundaries and also to arrest non-Indians.

In 1886 two Indians killed Sam Sixkiller who was the popular Captain of the US Indian Police and a Deputy U.S. Marshal commissioned by the Judicial District of Western Arkansas. After the killers escaped indictment by the tribes, Congress passed a law (24 Stat., 463.) giving the United States district courts jurisdiction over any Indian who committed a crime against a federally appointed Indian police officer or United States Deputy Marshal.

The United States Indian Police (USIP) was created in 1880 by John Q. Tufts to provide justice and technical assistance services to the federally recognized Indian tribes.

After its foundation, many of its officers were recruited from the ranks of the Indian Lighthorse, the former police of the native tribes. Many of their officers received permits that allowed them to cross jurisdictional frontiers and also detain non-Indians.

Sam Sixkiller, a former high sheriff of the Cherokee nation, was recruited to become the captain of the US Indian police in 1880 and he was famous for surviving multiple battles during his six years of service until he was shot on Christmas Eve while he was unarmed.
