The FBI has announced the results of ‘Operation Not Forgotten’, which dedicated over 40 FBI special agents, intelligence analysts, staff operations specialists, and victim specialists to special operations. Each was deployed to tribal areas to examine cases and focus resources on seeking justice for women and children who have been victims of crime. The Salt Lake City FBI received six special agents and a staff operations specialist who spent 30 to 90 days on temporary assignment between July and September 2023. Vernal received one special agent during this time. “We recognize that Indigenous women and children are too often the victims of violent crime,” shares Special Agent Shohini Sinha of the Salt Lake City FBI. “This operation reaffirms our commitment to keeping our tribal communities safe and working closely with our tribal partners to hold perpetrators accountable. Every victim matters, and every family deserves justice for criminal actions against their loved ones.”
