To access the tool, please visit http://www.ok.gov/osbi/ Statisti-cal_ Analysis_Center/ Data_and_Statistics/ index.html The Oklahoma Statistical Analysis Center (SAC) recently added a new data analysis tool to the SAC link on the OSBI Website. The State Inci-dent- Based Reporting System (SIBRS) Table Tool provides users with online access to aggre-gated crime data for par-ticipating jurisdictions. SAC staff created the tool using data provided by the Field Services Unit. Originally de-signed to replace sum-mary reporting, SIBRS enables participating agencies to contribute detailed crime data to the records management sys-tem, which is then re-ported directly to the Federal Bureau of Inves-tigation. Compared to traditional summary re-porting, SIBRS data pro-vides a better picture of crime in the state. The user-friendly tool is ca- The Oklahoma State Bu-reau of Investigation (OSBI) has received two National Institute of Jus-tice (NIJ) Solving Cold Cases with DNA grants. These grants have al-lowed the OSBI to iden-tify and review cases, analyze biological evi-dence, and investigate violent crime cold cases that have the potential to be solved using DNA analysis. Cases being reviewed range from re-cent cold cases to cases that occurred in the early 1970’s. Case reviews began in November 2009. To date, 428 cases have been reviewed and entered into the OSBI Cold Case Database. To qualify for analysis and investigation, the case has to contain evi-dence suitable for DNA analysis.

The purpose of the Okla-homa Crime Victimi-zation Survey (OCVS) was to generate state-wide crime estimates for Oklahoma. Since surveying an entire population is not prac-tical, researchers devel-oped estimates based on a sample of the population (200 total interviews). Next year SAC staff plans to con-duct another survey with a sample of 1,000 adults. The full report, including questionnaire and research methodol-ogy, is available online. The Oklahoma SAC is housed in the Office of Criminal Justice Statis-tics at the Oklahoma State Bureau of Inves-tigation. Unit projects are partially funded by the Bureau of Justice Statistics. Staff is also working on projects related to domestic vio-lence and arrest-related deaths. “...two serial rapists were identified using DNA analysis...” T H E S O U R C E evidence or pending DNA analysis. Seventy -eight cases have had DNA analysis com-pleted and are being followed up by OSBI agents or local law en-forcement. DNA pro-files from 53 cases have been entered into CODIS, which has re-sulted in 12 CODIS hits. Grant funding has al-lowed extensive analy-sis to be performed on more pieces of evi-dence than generally accepted under routine laboratory policy. Funds have also been used to allow OSBI agents and local law enforcement detectives to travel to collect known DNA samples and interview suspects. In early 2010, an exhu-mation was performed in hopes of using DNA from an unidentified fe-male to identify her and her killer. Using new techniques, her DNA profile was obtained and entered into CODIS. The OSBI continues to work to identify her and her killer. In the metro area, two serial rapists were identified using DNA analysis and are currently being investi-gated by local authori-ties. Recently in south-east Oklahoma, an exhu-mation was performed to collect the victim’s DNA in a 27-year-old homicide to aid the in-vestigation and prose-cution of the suspect. In August 2010, the Cold Case grant under-went an NIJ Progress Assessment. The As-sessors found the OSBI Cold Case Unit to be in compliance with all ar-eas, including Budget Expenditures, Admini-stration Oversight, and Overall Project Pro-gress. There were no Issues for Resolution or Action Items reported. The OSBI Cold Case Unit continues to focus efforts on working un-solved cold cases in hopes of bringing clo-sure to the victims and their families.
