September 11, 1808 the Cherokee Nation in Broomtown approved the formation of the Lighthorse Guard, a patrol of “regulators” to suppress squatting by whites, horse stealing and robbery, to protect widows and orphans, and to kill accused persons resisting their authority. Major (Kah-nung-da-tia-gen) Ridge was appointed head of the force. The Guard was disbanded when the Cherokees were removed on the “Trail of Tears” during the 1830’s and 1840’s.
The Cherokee National Council in Indian Territory passed a bill authorizing a Lighthorse Company in November 13, 1844. The Company was composed of a captain, lieutenant and twenty-four horsemen. It was their duty to pursue and arrest all fugitives from justice. Lighthorsemen performed as tribal police, criminals apprehended by them were turned over to the Indian courts for trial and punishment. Due to existing circumstances the early Lighthorse had to serve as police, judges and jurors. This burden was eased in 1874 with the construction of a National Prison in Tahlequah, Oklahoma and a High Sheriff to preside over it.
The Lighthorse Police patrol is still active in two forms in the Cherokee Nation today. The Cherokee Nation Marshal Service is a certified law enforcement agency with jurisdiction throughout the Cherokee Nation, The Marshal Service is cross deputized with 50 municipal, county, state and federal agencies. They have more than 32 Marshals and provide an array of special teams focusing on prevention and justice in concerning criminal activity. The Keetoowah Band’s police department actually carries the name, Lighthorse Tribal Police. They provide security to tribal properties as well as assist Local, county, state and federal law enforcement agencies up on request. The Lighthorse Tribal Police have 9 officers who service the members of the Band and the surrounding communities.
