Numbers Now…… Criminal Justice in Oklahoma March 2013 (Vol. 3, No. 1) Published By Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation Stan Florence Director Charles Curtis Deputy Director Dave Page Division Director Information Services Christopher Hill, Ph.D. Assistant Division Director Information Services Angie Baker SAC Director Open Statistical Research Specialist Jennifer Powell Liaison OK Violent Death Reporting System In this issue: National Youth Violence Prevention Month Oklahoma State-Tribal Liaison Program The Oklahoma District Attorneys Council, Victims Services Division is now well into the second year of a unique grant that funds a State-Tribal Crime Victim Liaison. Brian Hendrix began work as the liaison in October 2011. Funded by the Office for Victims of Crime (OVC), the program is the only one of its type in the nation. Program efforts are dedicated to improving communication among tribal, state, federal, and local officials to enhance victim assistance and outreach services to tribal communities in Oklahoma. The primary purpose of the project is to enhance victims’ compensation and assistance outreach to Oklahoma’s 38 federally recognized tribes. Over the last 18 months, Mr. Hendrix has been in the field contacting victim advocates, court personnel, and law enforcement representatives for each tribe. In addition, he met with victim witness coordinators in each of the twenty-seven district attorneys’ offices. Consequently, by the middle of last year he began bringing representatives from tribal victims’ service programs and state victims’ services personnel together in a series of continuing State-Tribal Victims Services Roundtable Discussions. The idea behind these meetings is to provide an informal forum in which tribal victims’ services providers and victim witness coordinators/victim witness assistants can meet, talk about respective services offered, and discuss any gaps in delivery of resources/support to victims. A partnership between the District Attorneys Council and the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation was created for the purpose of evaluating the impact of the project. The field presence of Angie Baker, project evaluator, brings additional benefits to many of the tribal communities in the form of a violent crime data resource. Ms. Baker now routinely distributes violent crime reports specific to tribal service boundaries to those who attend roundtable discussions. Brian came to the District Attorneys Council with a great deal of experience in working with Oklahoma tribes and federal grants. He previously served as the Executive Director for the Payne County Drug Court Program. During his tenure at the Payne County Drug Court, Hendrix served as a faculty member for the National Association of Drug Court Professionals Tribal Training Initiative and the Native American Alliance Foundation. Prior to his work in Payne County, Mr. Hendrix coordinated children’s protective services first as a Child Protection Worker and then as the Indian Child Welfare Coordinator for Muscogee Creek Nation.
