I have worked many cases with Oklahoma Interviewing Services through my career and have come to appreciate that hard work and dedication that they have to their work. I have never had a bad experience when working with them and continue to work with them on many cases. I have nothing but high regards for everyone involved with this organization!
As an Investigator in the southwest region of Oklahoma, this staff and mobile unit have been a godsend to our county. There are several cases I feel may have not been addressed properly without having the option of the mobile unit because some families do not have the means to travel long distances. When I have been involved with Maria, Vicki, and others during an investigation, their professionalism, concern, and dedication to the wellbeing of our victims is very apparent. I cannot emphasize enough the need for this program and how vital it has become to not only our office as an investigative option but many other counties throughout the state. I have spoken to many in law enforcement and I have heard so much positive feedback about this program. Thank you so much for what you all do and it is awesome working with you all.
As a LEO in western OK. Maria and Vicki have been conducting interviews for me since 2007. OIS has provided so much in Service to the Washita / Custer County MDT and CASA, they are Amazing people to work with, and the professionalism they have is astounding. I had the privilege to attend the Zero Abuse Project Summit in Florida back in February of this year with Maria and Vicki and it was wonderful. These women not only train in their profession but they also seek training. Oklahoma Interviewing Services needs our support, because without them I believe the State of Oklahoma would suffer when it comes to investigating and prosecuting child abuse and child sexual abuse cases. Our children need to be protected and justice served when needed. God Bless.
I use OIS to help with my cases. Maria and Vicki are excellent forensic interviewers, "Joey" is a warm and technically-sound venue for families and child abuse professionals, and Raimey provides comfort and information to families. I highly recommend this team for child interviews, professional and community training, and court testimony about child sexual abuse dynamics. They are the gold standard!
Oklahoma Interviewing Services fills a need in rural Oklahoma in providing a child-friendly place for forensic interviews of victims of child abuse and other violent crimes. OIS helps reduce the stress of the victims and their families by driving to them in the mobile unit. OIS has partnered with many law enforcement agencies and DHS to provide their services in areas that can not easily access a child advocacy center. OIS provides expert interviewing and training all over the state of Oklahoma. OIS is on the frontline of supporting and helping victims!
An amazing team of ladies who have a passion for kids and their mental well being! With immense training, they interview children who are in need of a professional, caring interview. The right questions can divulge information that law enforcement, the court system and DHS need to assist and protect the child. This highly experienced team does such a thorough job that they are trainers for other care centers, to include training for law enforcement so the officer learns how to protect the child's rights and still get the information he needs.
To ensure this team continues it's impactful role in rural Oklahoma, please donate! Donations can also include office supplies, snacks for the kids, and so much more that can be found in their wishlist located on their website https://okinterviewingservices.com
OIS provides a desperately needed service for the children of our state. They work hard and with compassion to help young victims of crime work through the complicated criminal justice system. I am so glad to know there are caring souls in this world working towards the good of children.
I do a lot of research before I donate or get involved in a charity/nonprofit!
Oklahoma Interviewing Services (OIS) is special to me because they care about the continuing welfare of abused and neglected children. They provide a safe, caring environment where children can feel comfortable to explain their trauma and issues. They also provide family counseling to teach family members what they can do to assist the child.
This is a statewide program in Oklahoma, Law Enforcement and other children agencies depend on OIS to conduct Forensic Interviews that can be used in court.
