Its geographic footprint covers the tribal jurisdictional area in Cleveland and Pottawatomie Counties, with a population of enrolled members concentrated largely in Oklahoma. The organization appears to participate in local partnerships and community safety initiatives, reflecting engagement with regional government and civic partners. An estimated annual economic impact is noted, and recent developments include collaboration with the City of Norman on a Safety Action Plan intended to improve roadway safety in the region.
