The report, entitled Indian Country Investigations and P rosecutions, is based on d ata co m p iled by U.S. A ttorney’s Offices and the FBI. T he rep o rt shows a 54 percent increase in Indian Country criminal prosecu tions nationally since Fiscal Year 2009.

The report shows that in 2011, the U.S. Attorney’s O f fice for the District o f O r egon prosecuted 31 Indian Country cases and declined 17 cases, for a declination rate o f 35 percent. In 2012, th e U.S. A tto rn ey ’s O ffice for the D istrict o f O reg o n p ro s ecuted 50 Indiati Country cases and declined 9 cases, for a declination rate o f 15 percent. Cases were declined for numerous reasons, such as the suspect being prosecuted in tribal court instead o f fed eral court, or the lack o f suf ficient evidence to proceed with a federal prosecution. Major crimes in Indian C o u n try are in v estig ated jointly by tribal law enforce m e n t o fficers a n d F B I agents. T he n u m b er o f In d ian Country prosecutions in O r egon has increased signifi cantly in the past two years due to partnerships between tribal and federal law en forcement officers.
