John Hoeven: Prioritized improving public safety in tribal communities

We prioritized improving public safety in tribal communities. That includes passing Savanna's Act that requires law enforcement to develop more effective methods to address missing and murdered Native Americans. Through my role on the Senate Appropriations Committee, I have worked to advance the goals of my SURVIVE Act by dedicating funding from the Crime Victims Fund (CVF) for tribes to provide services to victims of violence.
