The Field Services Unit (FSU) is responsible for Oklahoma's Uniform Crime Reporting System.  State law requires all state, county, city and town law enforcement agencies to report to this system.  To that end, FSU employees train agencies in the collection of crime statistics and then provide ongoing program support.  Since the early 1970s, statistics have been collected in the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Summary format.  

In 2004 the unit began transitioning agencies from summary reporting to the State Incident-Based Reporting System (SIBRS).  The SIBRS format collects more detailed incident and arrest information than summary and facilitates information sharing among participating agencies. SIBRS is very close to being deployed statewide.

The FSU works closely with the Oklahoma Statistical Analysis Center to compile and report crime statistics.

FSU also oversees installation, maintenance and upgrades for the Offender Data Information System (ODIS).  ODIS is a case management system used by over 270 law enforcement agencies in Oklahoma to track reported crimes and report those statistics to SIBRS.
