Increase in major crimes prosecutions
The D epartm ent o f Jus
tice has released a report to
Congress providing a range
o f statistics related to fed
eral law enforcement opera
tions in Indian Country in
2011 and 2012.
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.
In O re g o n , th e U.S.
Attorney’s Office has the re-'
sponsibility to prosecute ma
jor, crim es on th e W arm
Springs R eserv atio n , th e
Burns-Paiute Indian Reser
tribal prosecutors, tribal de
tectives, FBI agents, and fed
eral p ro s e c u to rs m eet
monthly to review and evalu
ate ongoing child abuse inves
tigations. Additionally, a law
yer from the Umatilla Indian
R eserv ation was com m is
sioned last year as a Special
Assistant United States Attor
ney to p ro s e c u te federal
crimes and help coordinate
v a tio n , a n d th e U m atilla I n
d ia n R eserv atio n .
jo in t trib a l-fed eral in v estig a
tio n s o f m a jo r crim es.
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.

Additionally, U.S. Attorney
Amanda Marshall travels an
nually to consult with leaders
from all nine o f O regon’s
Tribal N ations to listen to
their concerns about public
safety in their communities.
Marshall also serves on the
A tto rn ey G eneral’s N ative
American Advisory Commit
tee and chairs the Juvenile
Ju stice in Indian C ountry
Working Group.
“While the num bers are
gratifying, they are only a
small part o f the story. What
we are most proud o f is the
way tribal leaders and Justice
O fficials have w orked to
gether in recent years to find
The number o f
Indian Country
prosecutions in
Oregon has in
creased substan
tially over the past
two years...
and implement responses to
violent crime in Indian Coun
try,” Marshall said.
“From the passage o f the
Tribal Law and O rder A ct
(TLOA); the Violence A gainst'
Women Act; and inter-agency
collaboration in both preven
tion and enforcem ent, we
have come a long way.
“Here in Oregon, I am es
pecially proud o f the way our
office has worked to not only
fight crime, but also to pro
vide technical expertise, train
ing, consultation, and pros
ecution resources to assist
tribes in exercising their law
enforcement, sentencing, and
jurisdictional authority. We
have a p ro u d trad itio n o f
honoring our trust responsi
bility to Oregon tribes.”

the nation’s first tribal court
sentencing to the Bureau o f
Prisons under the provisions
o f the TLOA by the Umatilla
Tribe, the partnerships with
tribes have paved the way fori
significant improvements to;
public safety in Indian Coun
try, she said.
“I am confident that we
will continue to blaze new
trails to ensure that reserva

places for children and fami
