FBI to increase personnel in field offices to address violent crimes in Native American communities

The Trump administration will surge FBI resources across the country to address unsolved violent crimes in lands inhabited by Native American tribes, including crimes related to missing persons and the murders of indigenous persons.

Under "Operation Not Forgotten," the FBI will send 60 personnel to various parts of "Indian Country" over a six-month period where they will rotate in 90-day temporary assignments, the Justice Department announced Tuesday. 

The additional personnel will support FBI field offices in Albuquerque; Denver; Detroit; Jackson, Miss.; Minneapolis; Oklahoma City; Phoenix; Portland, Oreg.; Seattle; and Salt Lake City.
