Numbers Now…… Criminal Justice in Oklahoma February 2011 (Vol. 2, No. 1) Published By Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation Stan Florence Director Charles Curtis Deputy Director Dave Page Division Director Information Services Linda DeArman Section Supervisor Data Collection and Reporting Angie Baker SAC Director Vacant Statistical Research Specialist Jennifer Powell Liaison OK Violent Death Reporting System In this issue: National Teen Dating Violence Awareness & Prevention Month OCJS Adds Program and Welcomes New Staff to Unit The Oklahoma Violent Death Reporting System (OK-VDRS), a federally-funded surveillance project, collects data on all unnatural deaths in the state. Oklahoma is one of 18 states currently participating in the program, which is funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The Oklahoma State Department of Health collaborates with the Office of Chief Medical Examiner, the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation, and the Oklahoma Child Death Review Board; OSBI contributes law enforcement data to the project. The mission of the project is congruent with the overall mission and goals of OCJS. Jennifer Powell joined the unit in November. She serves as the Liaison for the OK-VDRS project. She is responsible for collecting law enforcement data for all unnatural deaths that occur in the state. Jennifer graduated from the University of Central Oklahoma with a bachelor’s degree in business administration. She previously worked at the Department of Human Services. OSBI Creates New Forensic Science Research Group Forensic science is an ever-changing field, with new analytical techniques being introduced every year. Before any of these new techniques can be applied to forensic casework, each must be scientifically validated in order to demonstrate that they are, in fact, appropriate for the analysis of evidence. For this reason, the OSBI lab has established a research committee, which has two primary purposes. One is to contribute to the forensic science community through the development of novel analytical techniques and the subsequent publishing of their work in the scientific literature. Secondly, the committee coordinates efforts with local universities to provide research opportunities for students of forensic science and related fields. Through this partnership, the students gain practical research experience, and the Bureau benefits through the enhancement of their analytical capabilities. Robert Weston
