Oklahoma Violent Death Reporting System Oklahoma is one of 18 states that participate in the National Violent Death Reporting System. The Oklahoma Violent Death Reporting System (OK-VDRS) collects data on homicides, suicides, deaths due to unintentional firearm injury, legal intervention, or terrorism. Deaths of undetermined manner/intent are also included in the reporting system. Data are collected from death certificates, medical examiner reports, law enforcement records, and child death review records. Specific information on victims, suspects, weapons, and circumstances surrounding the deaths are included in the database. During 2004-2008, an average of 911 Oklahomans died each year as a result of violence.
The Oklahoma State Department of Health collaborates with the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation, and the Oklahoma Child Death Review Board to collect the data. OK-VDRS Reports
